President Donald Trump’s administration said that it would use 2,000 national guard troops, because federal agents in Los Angeles were confronted with protesters for a second day after immigration raids.
The security agents were in a tense confrontation with protesters in the Paramount area in the southeastern Los Angeles (Saturday local time), where some demonstrators showed Mexican flags and others covered their mouths with respiratory masks.
Trump’s border Tsar, Tom Homan, Fox News said that the National Guard in Los Angeles would be deployed on Sunday (Saturday evening local time).
A statement from the White House said that Trump had signed a memorandum that 2,000 national guards are using “to tackle the lawlessness that is allowed to festive”.

“The Trump government has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior and violence, especially when that violence is aimed at law enforcement officers trying to do their work. These criminals will be arrested and quickly brought to court,” said the statement.

The Governor of California Gavin Newsom called the decision “deliberately inflammatory”.

The protests come up with Democratic-Run Los Angeles, where Census data suggests that a considerable part of the population was born Spanish and abroad, against Trump’s Republican White House, which has made immigration the occurrence of his second term.
Video images showed dozens of green-and-formed security personnel with gas masks set up on a road that was scattered with fallen shopping carts while small buses exploded in gas clouds.

A first round of protests started on Saturday (Friday evening local time) after agents for immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) had performed enforcement operations in the city and had arrested at least 44 people for alleged immigration violations.

Stephen Miller, an immigration hardliner and the deputy staff chief of the White House, wrote on X that the demonstrations ‘were a rebellion against the laws and sovereignty of the United States’. On Sunday (Saturday local time) he described the protests of the day as a “violent uprising”.

Immigration

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a statement that “1,000 rioters surrounded a federal law enforcement building and ICE -Water enforcement officials, cut tires, illegible buildings and taxpayers have been financed”.
The Reuters news agency could not verify the accounts of DHS. Angelica Salas, executive director of Immigrants Rights Organization Chirla, said that lawyers had not had access to those who had been held on Saturday (Friday local time), who they called “very disturbing”.

Trump has promised to illegally deport records of people in the country and to close the boundary between the US and Mexico, with the White House set a goal for ice to arrest at least 3,000 migrants per day.

But the radical action of immigration has also overtaken people who live legally in the country, including some with permanent stay, and has led to legal challenges.

In a statement on Friday (Saturday local time) about the protests in Paramount, the Sheriff of the Sheriff of Los Angeles County said: “It seemed that federal law enforcement officers were in the area and that members of the public gathered to protest.”

Salas said that protesters gathered after an ice seemed to use parking spaces in the vicinity of a Paramount Home Depot store as the basis.

Ice, the Department of Homeland Security and the police of Los Angeles did not respond to a request for comments on the protests or potential immigration sweeps on Sunday (Saturday local time).
Television new images on Saturday (Friday local time) showed unmarked vehicles that resemble military transport and vans loaded with uniformed federal agents who flowed through the streets of Los Angeles as part of the immigration enforcement operation.

There were raids around home depots, where street vendors and day workers were picked up, as well as in a clothing factory and a warehouse, Salas said.

‘We will not stand for this’

The Democratic mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, condemned the immigration raids in a statement.
“I’m deeply angry about what happened,” Bass said. “These tactics sow terror in our communities and disrupt the basic principles of safety in our city. We will not stand for this.”
