"On Friday morning, federal agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the FBI, and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) conducted raids across Los Angeles including at two Home Depots and a clothing wholesaler in search of workers who they suspected of being undocumented immigrants."
"On Saturday, Trump escalated the confrontations, ordering at least 2,000 national guard troops to be deployed in Los Angeles county to help quell the protests."
"Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff, called the protests an insurrection, emphasizing the Administration's hardline stance against dissent related to immigration enforcement."
"We are witnessing the first stages of a Trump police state, as described by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, proclaiming that violence against federal agents will not be tolerated."
Following the halt of Trump's tariffs and his distancing from wealthy allies, federal agents conducted immigration enforcement raids in Los Angeles, resulting in 121 arrests amid protests. These protests sparked significant confrontation with law enforcement, which included the deployment of national guard troops and active-duty marines. In a show of strength, Trump and his administration framed the protests as insurrection, reinforcing an aggressive stance against public dissent and immigration opposition, marking a disturbing trend towards a police state under his leadership.
