California Quakes Coincide With Mass Anti-ICE Protests

California experienced a series of moderate earthquakes, including a 3.4 magnitude quake near Los Angeles and a 3.3 magnitude tremor north of San Francisco, with no injuries or significant damage reported. Thousands of residents across both cities felt the shaking. The earthquakes coincided with widespread protests and riots against ICE immigration raids, resulting in hundreds of arrests in San Francisco after initially peaceful demonstrations became violent. In response to unrest in Los Angeles, President Trump ordered the deployment of 700 Marines and 2,100 National Guard members, bypassing the governor. Both city mayors emphasized public safety and the right to peaceful protest, while warning about possible escalation. Experts highlighted ongoing seismic risks from faults like the Newport-Inglewood and Hayward Faults, which could produce larger earthquakes in the future.
