Everything we know about the protests

Violent protests erupted in Los Angeles following immigration raids by ICE, leading to dozens of arrests and clashes with the National Guard. The protests began in response to increased ICE raids targeting Latino populations in the city. President Trump deployed 2,000 National Guard troops to LA, sparking controversy with state politicians. The National Guard's role is to protect federal agents like ICE and DHS personnel, not conduct immigration raids. The protests have been mainly concentrated in downtown LA, leading to arrests and reports of looting and violence.
