Storyline: Protesters clashed with U.S. law enforcement officers in Los Angeles on Sunday during the latest demonstrations against immigration raids that swept across California over the weekend. The clash came after agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal law enforcement agencies raided several locations in southern California on Friday, which sparked mass protests. Washington vowed on Saturday to continue the raids despite opposition from local communities and officials. U.S. President Donald Trump took extraordinary action on Saturday by calling up 2,000 National Guard troops to quell immigration protests in the Los Angeles region. On Sunday, crowds of demonstrators took to the streets in Los Angeles, calling for the withdrawal of National Guard troops, arguing that their arrival would only escalate tensions. In downtown Los Angeles, protesters faced off with National Guard soldiers in front of a detention center, where the detained immigrants kept knocking on windows. Tensions rose as police officers used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the crowd, leading to several arrests. She further argued that the arrival of National Guard troops only makes things worse. The protesters also criticized ICE for targeting immigrants who are hard-working and have contributed to the community. Shotlist: Los Angeles, USA - June 8, 2025: 1.
