Tensions flare in Los Angeles as anti-ICE protesters clash with police in third night of violence
Los Angeles is facing a third consecutive night of unrest following military-style immigration raids by armed, masked ICE agents that began on Friday. At least 100 people have been detained, prompting outrage from activists who say the raids aim to instil fear. Protests have escalated into violent clashes across the city, including at the 101 Freeway and the Metropolitan Detention Center, with demonstrators setting fires and destroying police vehicles, including driverless cars. Federal agents and National Guard troops have responded with tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash-bang grenades. President Trump ordered the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops—without a formal request from California—calling protesters “insurrectionist mobs.” Critics, including Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass, say the federal response has provoked more unrest. Authorities have declared multiple unlawful assemblies, and dozens have been arrested. As fires still burn across parts of the city, LAPD officials say they may reassess the continued deployment of the National Guard based on the scale of violence seen Sunday night.
