'We Don't Want Them Here' Los Angeles Mayor Says of Guard Troops
- Los Angeles saw protests beginning June 6 against immigration raids as President Trump deployed 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to assist ICE.
- The deployment followed escalating protests over ICE raids targeting undocumented migrants, despite local leaders asserting control and opposing federal troop presence.
- During mostly peaceful protests in 15 downtown locations, about 30,000 people rallied with sporadic violence leading to injuries on both sides and five arrests.
- Mayor Karen Bass stated that the city does not require National Guard presence and emphasized that local authorities are managing the situation, making any comparison to the 1992 riots inappropriate. Meanwhile, Governor Newsom strongly disputed President Trump's claim that he had been consulted before deploying troops, labeling the assertion as completely false.
- The events highlight tension between federal actions and local governance, with ongoing curfews and protests suggesting continued unrest and economic impacts from raids on immigrant workers.
