Los Angeles, CA – USA
Massive protests erupted in downtown Los Angeles on June 6, 2025, following a wave of immigration raids carried out by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). What began as peaceful demonstrations quickly escalated into rioting, property damage, and confrontations with law enforcement.

In response to the unrest, city officials imposed a night-time curfew, while the federal government deployed over 4,100 National Guard troops and 700 U.S. Marines to restore order—marking one of the largest domestic military deployments in recent years.

The decision sparked heated debate. Civil rights groups and local leaders condemned the move as a dangerous overreach, warning that it could undermine constitutional freedoms and fuel further distrust. Meanwhile, White House officials defended the intervention, claiming it was necessary to protect public safety and maintain civic stability.

For many, this situation has become a critical test of former President Trump’s "America First" doctrine, especially in how the administration handles domestic unrest and immigration policy in an election year.
