Los Angeles is still reeling from January’s deadly wildfires — and with the World Cup soccer championships and the 2028 Olympics on the horizon — Mayor Karen Bass has been urging residents to come together to revitalize LA’s image.
On Monday after a weekend of demonstrations, hundreds of people flocked to Downtown Los Angeles for another round — to support loved ones who’ve been detained during recent immigration protests or ICE raids, and to face off with National Guard troops deployed by President Donald Trump.
Huerta was arrested Friday while protesting a raid by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Los Angeles.
More than 35% of Los Angeles' population is foreign-born, shaping its reaction to Trump's immigration crackdown.
Unlike criticisms Bass faced for her wildfire response, one political observer says mayor’s skillsets are ‘very well suited’ to addressing latest crisis.
The move comes in response to unrest over immigration enforcement. A Pentagon spokesman said an additional 2,000 National Guard troops were also being mobilized.
The National Guard was deployed to Los Angeles County as anti-ICE protests escalated over the weekend. The unrest is centered in the city of Paramount, California, where rioters clashed with federal authorities,
National Guard troops with riot shields pushed protesters into the streets, as tear gas was deployed and less-than-lethal rounds exploded in the roadway.
The city of Glendale, Calif., revoked a long-standing agreement with Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs and Enforcement under which its police department holds immigration detainees on their behalf.
