US EditionPolitics at play in Los Angeles anti-ICE protest response
- Protests erupted in Los Angeles in response to ICE raids and President Trump's aggressive immigration enforcement in early June 2025.
- These protests followed the Trump administration's expanded mass deportation efforts, which critics say risk targeting people with strong social ties and sparked political backlash.
- Trump activated thousands of National Guard soldiers along with several hundred Marines to Los Angeles without approval from the state governor, citing a rarely used federal statute to manage the unrest caused by protests and incidents of looting.
- Polling shows 56% of Americans oppose deporting people with jobs, 60% oppose targeting parents of US citizen children, and 57% reject deporting non-criminal undocumented immigrants.
- The deployment and policies have intensified partisan tensions, drawing accusations of federal overreach and fueling further nationwide protests and political debate.
