Tensions escalate in Los Angeles as protests erupt over Trump's immigration policies and ICE raids, prompting the deployment of US Marines and National Guard troops. The clashes in the immigrant-heavy city reflect a broader push by the White House to increase deportation numbers, with ICE making a record 2,200 arrests in a single day.
