Los Angeles Erupts: Three Nights of Violent Protests Against Trump's Immigration Policies

Los Angeles erupts in three nights of violent protests against President Trump's immigration crackdown. The city witnessed intense clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement, with the National Guard deployed to quell the unrest. Mayor Karen Bass condemned the administration's response, stating, "What we're seeing in Los Angeles is chaos that is provoked by the administration." The protests, fueled by anger over increasing immigration raids and Trump's anti-immigration policies, led to numerous arrests and injuries. One officer was even filmed firing a rubber bullet at a journalist. The situation escalated when protesters blocked a major freeway and set fire to a highway patrol car. Police Chief Jim McDonnell described the events as "increasingly worse and more violent," highlighting the challenges faced by law enforcement. California's governor has urged President Trump to rescind the National Guard order, calling the deployment "unlawful."
