Tensions Erupt in LA Over ICE Raids: Trump Sends In Troops

ICE raids across Los Angeles triggered widespread demonstrations, focused around the LA Federal Building

Trump warned: “If local leaders fail, the Federal Government will step in…” He claimed looters were involved — with no confirmed evidence.

Critics say Trump’s remarks recall his 2020 tweet: "When the looting starts, the shooting starts." A phrase linked to 1960s police crackdowns.

Trump has deployed 2,000 National Guard troops to “restore order.” White House says: “Zero tolerance for violence.”

Protests continue. Social media flooded with scenes from LA. Will tensions rise — or calm in the days ahead?
