Foreign Office Issues Urgent Update to Travellers Amid Los Angeles Protests - Liverpool Echo
- Los Angeles experienced ongoing protests and clashes in early June 2025 after ICE conducted immigration raids that intensified tensions across the city.
- The raids and subsequent demonstrations arose amid a political conflict involving Governor Gavin Newsom and President Trump, who deployed 2,000 National Guard troops without Newsom's consent.
- Clashes involving National Guard personnel and law enforcement escalated on Sunday night, with authorities deploying crowd-control measures such as smoke canisters, non-lethal projectiles, and stun devices, as protests took place near downtown sites and a federal building.
- Trump demanded apologies from Governor Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass, accusing them of failing Los Angeles amid unrest and describing the city as being overwhelmed by unauthorized immigrants and criminals. In response, Newsom condemned the federal raids as harsh and denied that discussions about deploying the National Guard had taken place earlier as Trump claimed.
- The unrest led to over 118 arrests this week, a lawsuit from Newsom to stop troop deployment, and a UK Foreign Office travel warning advising caution in Los Angeles due to rising tensions.
