LA mayor says immigration raids caused ‘disorder’
- President Donald Trump ordered roughly 2,000 National Guard troops to patrol Los Angeles on Monday following weekend protests over federal immigration raids.
- The deployment came after protests erupted in response to federal immigration actions, which local leaders condemned as a dangerous federal overreach that could escalate tensions.
- During protests, demonstrators blocked freeways and federal detention centers, leading to rising tensions characterized by fires, projectiles, tear gas, rubber bullets, and dozens of arrests by police and federal agents.

- The situation highlights deep divisions over federal involvement and raises questions about policing strategies, as experts note that aggressive responses often worsen protests instead of calming them.
