Los Angeles erupted in protests after surprise immigration raids by ICE on June 6, detaining at least 44 undocumented workers across the city. Tensions peaked outside the Federal Building as demonstrators clashed with riot police using tear gas, flash-bangs, and pepper spray. The protests turned violent after objects were hurled at officers, prompting an unlawful assembly declaration. Labour leader David Huerta was among those detained. ICE confirmed four raids in downtown LA as part of a nationwide crackdown under President Trump’s directive for mass deportations. The LAPD, though not involved in enforcement, was deployed to manage the escalating civil unrest. (PC: Reuters)
