Protests that began in response to anti-immigration raids turned into violent clashes on the streets of Los Angeles. In many areas of the city, National Guardsmen clashed with protesters.
During the events, some protesters set vehicles on fire, wrote slogans on the walls of public buildings, and replaced American flags with Mexican flags. It was reported that many arrests occurred during the clashes with security forces.
Authorities stated that the violent incidents were concentrated primarily in the Paramount, Compton, and Downtown Los Angeles areas. While police and National Guards took extensive security measures in the region, helicopter-supported surveillance and street restrictions were implemented.
It is known that the events escalated following the controversial immigration raids conducted by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) units in recent days. The detention of many undocumented immigrants during the raids sparked public outrage.
President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles after the events spiraled out of control. However, this decision was deemed "escalatory" by California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.
Tension in Los Angeles is expected to remain high in the coming days. While protesters are calling for reform in immigration policies, authorities announced that they are ready to deploy additional security forces for potential new disturbances.
