Los Angeles Protests Erupt Over Immigration Raids; Trump Threatens Federal Intervention
LOS ANGELES – Protests erupted in Los Angeles over the weekend in response to federal immigration enforcement raids, prompting a sharp response from former US President Donald Trump, who threatened federal intervention.
Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday, stating, “If governor Gavin Newscum, of California, and Mayor Karen Bass, of Los Angeles, can’t do their jobs… the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem, RIOTS & LOOTERS, the way it should be solved!!!”
Tensions escalated for a second consecutive day in southern Los Angeles as immigration enforcement operations triggered demonstrations, clashes, and arrests. The suburb of Paramount saw tear gas and smoke as border patrol agents in riot gear confronted protesters.
Demonstrators gathered near a Home Depot, reportedly used as a staging area by immigration agents. Slogans like “ICE out of Paramount” and “Set them free, let them stay” were chanted. Some protesters waved mexican flags, while one group burned a US flag. Makeshift roadblocks were constructed using shopping carts and cement blocks, and attempts were made to obstruct federal vehicles. A US Marshals Service bus was reportedly swarmed, leading to the closure of highway ramps.
Border patrol agents responded with tear gas, flash-bang grenades, and a heightened security presence. Officers in gas masks guarded the area as smoke from burning refuse and shrubbery filled the air.These enforcement actions are part of Trump’s broader crackdown on undocumented immigration.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem warned protesters against obstructing law enforcement, promising prosecution. ICE officials confirmed 118 arrests during the raids, including union leader David Huerta.Senator Chuck Schumer has demanded Huerta’s release, calling it a suppression of free speech.
