LA Becomes Federal ‘Test Case’ After Troops Deployed Against Protesters Says Los Angles Mayor Karen Bass

Brief by Shorts91 NewsDesk / 07:51am on 10 Jun 2025,Tuesday International

Los Angeles erupted after aggressive ICE raids sparked protests. President Trump deployed about 4,000 National Guard and 700 Marines to protect federal buildings, a rare domestic military mobilization. Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom condemned the move as an unconstitutional “test case” and “authoritarian,” filing a lawsuit to block it. Clashes persisted as police used tear gas, rubber bullets; vehicles were torched; union leader David Huerta was arrested and released on bond; journalists, including Lauren Tomasi, were injured. Civil‑rights advocates call for mass mobilizations demanding troop withdrawal and accountability. Los Angles mayor said that the city had been peaceful before Ice raids that began last week, adding “this is chaos that was started in Washington DC” and that “nothing warranted the raids, nothing was happening”.
