Los Angeles Erupts: Trump Deploys National Guard Amid Immigration Raid Protests

Los Angeles erupts in clashes as protests against immigration raids escalate. President Trump's deployment of 2,000 National Guard members sparks controversy. California Governor Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass have both criticized the move as heavy-handed and unnecessary. The protests, which have been ongoing for several days, are a response to recent immigration raids in the city. "We will not allow our country to descend into chaos," President Trump stated in a press conference. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum urged the US to not treat migrants as criminals. The situation remains tense, with reports of tear gas being used to disperse crowds. The deployment of the National Guard is a significant escalation of the situation and raises questions about the balance between maintaining order and protecting civil liberties.
