Posted by: lukwago J in World news June 10, 2025

Last weekend, chaos erupted in Los Angeles as clashes broke out over immigration sweeps, pitting protestors against the Trump administration and Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ) agency. President Donald Trump’s decision to deploy 700 US Marines and 4,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles to quell the unrest marked a dramatic turn in his deportation efforts.

The choice of Los Angeles for the raids and ensuing protests, a progressive city in Democratic territory, provided a stage for the White House to demonstrate progress on immigration enforcement, drawing criticism from Governor Gavin Newsom and other key figures.

Stepping up enforcement

ICE’s recent crackdown, aiming to ramp up arrests and deportations, faced hurdles with officials departing and internal restructuring taking place.

The raids led to the apprehension of individuals with criminal backgrounds, leading to outcry from local advocates and community members witnessing families torn apart and nonviolent immigrants detained.

While Donald Trump’s immigration policies enjoy support, there are concerns among some backers about the tactics used. The protests in Los Angeles laid bare the division within the community on immigration enforcement strategies.

The turmoil in Los Angeles, a haven city, showcased a clash of opinions on immigration actions and further highlighted the deep-rooted emotions and conflicts within the community over immigration issues.
