Los Angeles Erupts in Protests Against Mass Immigration Raids

Los Angeles erupts in protests against mass immigration raids. On June 7th, 2025, Los Angeles witnessed intense protests against large-scale immigration raids conducted by ICE agents. Videos circulating online show confrontations between protesters and law enforcement, with reports of tear gas and less-lethal weapons being used. One protester recounted, "Las balas de goma pasaban zumbando sobre mi cabeza," highlighting the danger faced by demonstrators. The situation escalated, prompting President Trump to deploy up to 2,000 National Guard troops to restore order. California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized this decision, stating it would only worsen tensions. The ICE reported detaining 118 immigrants during the operation. The protests underscore the deep divisions and strong feelings surrounding immigration policies in the United States.
