The No Kings rally in downtown Los Angeles highlighted tensions surrounding federal troop deployment and ICE operations, which have affected the local immigrant community. Protesters expressed their discontent, emphasizing that they are not the enemy. Reports surfaced of ICE raids in the Fashion District and widespread detentions resulting in chaotic scenes for immigrants. Individuals were often taken from their daily lives, while detainees faced poor conditions in the LA Federal Courthouse, with many enduring inhumane treatment, inadequate food, and lack of basic supplies. Activists continue to respond to these troubling developments.
