Los Angeles: Marines Deployed Amid ICE Protests Los Angeles is experiencing a surge in tensions as protests against ICE enter their third day. Demonstrations have turned violent, with clashes between protesters and law enforcement leading to arrests and property damage. Mayor Karen Bass described the situation downtown as "just horrible."

In contrast, President Trump expressed approval of the military intervention, suggesting that the National Guard prevented Los Angeles from being "obliterated." Adie, a protester interviewed in the video, shared her personal experience as an undocumented immigrant, highlighting the emotional weight of the situation for many involved. The deployment of Marines and the differing opinions of political leaders underscore the complexities of the situation in Los Angeles.
