In Los Angeles, protests erupted in response to ICE immigration raids that led to the arrest of around 118 individuals suspected of being undocumented migrants. President Trump authorized the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to manage the situation, a move met with backlash from California Governor Gavin Newsom, who condemned it as 'purposefully inflammatory.' Protests intensified, leading to clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement, prompting organizers to call for continued protests to voice opposition against the raids and military presence.
"The protests began after federal officials conducted immigration sweeps in the LA area on Friday, leading to widespread unrest and confrontations with law enforcement."
"Governor Gavin Newsom criticized President Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to LA, labeling the decision as 'purposefully inflammatory' amidst rising tensions over immigration issues."
