President Trump recently claimed that without the National Guard, Los Angeles would be burning due to immigration-related protests, which began on June 6 in Paramount. However, these protests have been small-scale, confined to a limited area within the vast expanse of Los Angeles County. While there is a growing number of demonstrations, they have not approached the size of past protests like those that erupted following the George Floyd murder or the 1992 Rodney King verdict, indicating a much more contained situation.
Trump's statement exaggerated the scale of protests in Los Angeles County, which remain small compared to historical events, indicating a more contained response from authorities.
The current immigration-related protests that began on June 6 in Paramount are limited in scale, mostly confined to a few city blocks within a vast area of Los Angeles.
Although the protests in downtown Los Angeles are increasing in number, they remain localized and have not yet reached the widespread scale seen in previous years.
Past protests, such as those following the 1992 Rodney King verdict, demonstrate a much larger area of unrest compared to the present demonstrations.
