Protests in Los Angeles (live streaming)
Protests in Los Angeles have intensified following a wave of aggressive ICE raids targeting undocumented immigrants, prompting a heavy federal response. President Trump has deployed over 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 U.S. Marines to the city, citing the need to protect federal property and personnel. The move has sparked outrage from California officials, with Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass condemning it as unconstitutional and politically motivated. The state has filed a federal lawsuit challenging the legality of the deployment, while demonstrations continue to spread across LA and into other parts of California. Although many of the protests remain peaceful, there have been clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement, with reports of tear gas and arrests. Community leaders warn that the situation could escalate further if federal forces remain in place.
