Anti-ICE Protests Continue Fifth Day in LA as Trump Doubles National Guard

News summary

Protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids and immigration enforcement have escalated in Los Angeles and spread to Washington, D.C., amid increasing fears in immigrant communities. President Donald Trump deployed thousands of National Guard troops and active-duty Marines to Los Angeles in response to what he described as 'Radical Left protests' and efforts to disrupt immigration enforcement, marking the first time since 1965 that the National Guard was activated without a governor's request. California Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the deployments as reckless and announced a lawsuit against President Trump and the Defense Secretary for bypassing state authority. Demonstrations have involved thousands, with over 100 arrests and some instances of violence, including injuries to officers and protesters blocking freeways. Meanwhile, the Party for Socialism and Liberation is organizing a rally in D.C. to oppose Trump's militarized response, highlighting fears that such tactics aim to suppress First Amendment rights nationwide. The protests stem from aggressive ICE raids, including detentions of workers in West Los Angeles, contributing to widespread community fear and unrest.
