LOS ANGELES: The Trump administration’s ongoing crackdown against undocumented immigrants in Los Angeles has sparked intense protests, continuing into a second consecutive day. Clashes between police and demonstrators have escalated, resulting in a tense situation across the city.
Eyewitnesses report that police used tear gas to disperse the crowds. Despite this, hundreds of protesters remain on the streets, demanding an end to harsh immigration policies and calling for respect for human rights.
“If the Governor of California and the Mayor of Los Angeles can’t do anything, then we have to step in. Everyone knows they’re not doing their job properly.”
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that President Trump has ordered the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles to help restore order.
Analysts suggest that these developments could significantly impact local politics and have broader implications for the upcoming presidential election. Meanwhile, human rights organizations have criticized the crackdown, calling it a violation of democratic principles.
