The Trump administration has sent 2,000 National Guard soldiers to Los Angeles after protests over immigration raids by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) became more intense.
These raids, which began on Friday, led to 118 arrests. One major arrest happened at a warehouse where officials say the employer used fake documents for some workers. Protesters say ICE is using too much force and spreading fear in immigrant communities.
The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.
Don’t give them one.
Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.
— Governor Gavin Newsom (@CAgovernor) June 8, 2025
