Los Angeles Erupts: Immigration Raids Spark Violent Clashes and Legal Battle

Los Angeles erupts in unrest following federal immigration raids. Violent clashes erupt between protestors and federal agents in Los Angeles on June 6th, 2025, after a series of immigration raids. The deployment of the National Guard marked an escalation of the conflict. California Governor Gavin Newsom has filed a lawsuit against the federal government, citing the Posse Comitatus Act, which restricts the use of the military for domestic law enforcement. "This is a blatant disregard for the rule of law," Newsom stated in a press conference. The protests caused significant economic damage, with estimates exceeding $20 million in losses. The situation highlights the deep political and social divisions within the United States.
