Why anti-ICE protests are spreading across the US
Thousands of Angelenos experienced their second evening of curfew on Wednesday as Mayor Karen Bass continued her crackdown on looters and vandals in downtown Los Angeles.
More demonstrations were scheduled for Thursday, almost a week after a string of ICE raids last Friday sparked a wave of unrest in LA. By Saturday morning, President Donald Trump caused fresh outrage after deploying the National Guard before eventually mobilizing the U.S. Marines days later.
While Los Angeles remains the epicenter of unrest, The Independent found that demonstrations had flared up in at least 37 cities across the U.S. Hundreds of arrests had been made nationwide by Thursday.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told a Senate hearing Wednesday that military personnel could be sent to other cities 'if necessary.'
While at the Kennedy Center's premiere of Les Misérables, Trump again defended his decision to deploy troops and said that, if he didn't, LA would be 'burning to the ground right now.'
Here, The Independent breaks down what you need to know as LA – and other major cities – experience further unrest.
How did the protest start?
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers conducted search warrants at multiple locations on Friday.
One search was executed outside a clothing warehouse in the Fashion District after a judge found probable cause that the employer was using fictitious documents for some of its workers, according to representatives for Homeland Security Investigations and the U.S Attorney's Office.
Crowds tried to stop ICE agents from driving away following the arrests.
Another protest was sparked outside a federal building in downtown LA, after demonstrators discovered detainees were allegedly being held in the basement of the building.
Protests then erupted in Paramount after it appeared federal law enforcement officers were conducting another immigration operation in the area. The protests also spread to the nearby city of Compton. LA County Sheriff Robert Luna stated that as many as 400 people were involved in the demonstration.
The ICE operations in Los Angeles resulted in the arrests of 118 immigrants this week, including 44 people in Friday's operations, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
The arrests led to protesters gathering outside a federal detention center, chanting, 'Set them free, let them stay!'
Why did Trump first deploy the National Guard?
On Saturday, Trump ordered the deployment of at least 2,000 National Guard troops to LA.
'If Governor Gavin Newscum, of California, and Mayor Karen Bass, of Los Angeles, can't do their jobs, which everyone knows they can't, then the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem, RIOTS & LOOTERS, the way it should be solved!!!' he wrote on Truth Social.
Newsom responded on social media that the ' federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.'
The state National Guard had not been federalized by a president, thereby overriding a governor, since 1965.
How have things progressed since?
The first National Guard troops arrived in areas of Los Angeles on Sunday, including Paramount and the downtown area.
Footage shared online showed an escalation in the clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement, with police in riot gear using tear gas to disperse people.
Other videos showed protesters lobbing fireworks and other projectiles at officers, while vehicles were set ablaze, and 'f*** ICE' graffiti was sprayed in multiple locations.
By Sunday morning, the LAPD had already made dozens of arrests, with law enforcement braced for 'several more protests' in the city throughout the day. Police reported that there had been reports of looting in the city in the evening.
After sharply criticizing Newsom and Bass, Trump continued his rebuke against protestors on the ground. Late Sunday, he wrote on Truth Social that it's 'looking really bad in L.A. BRING IN THE TROOPS!!'
By Monday, Trump ordered the Defense Department to take control of an additional 2,000 California National Guardsmen to bolster efforts to quell demonstrations. They will join the 2,000 guardsmen already stationed throughout L.A.
About 700 Marines were also mobilized by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, with Newsom deploying an additional 800 law enforcement officers in a bid to 'clean up President Trump's mess.'
Protests on Monday were mostly quelled by the evening and remained less violent than Sunday's fiery clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement officers.
On Tuesday, authorities enforced the curfew in a portion of downtown LA between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. Wednesday, with Bass warning that anyone who failed to comply would be detained. The LAPD said that it made 'mass arrests' after the restriction was imposed.
Police officers on foot and horseback dispersed crowds on Wednesday evening in downtown LA before Bass enforced a second curfew in as many days.
Hegseth told the Senate Appropriations Committee Wednesday that troops could be sent to other cities if law enforcement were threatened as protests flare up from Seattle through to New York City
Protests spill into other U.S. cities
Anti-ICE protests began spreading to parts of California and other major U.S. cities, from Seattle to New York City.
Approximately 60 protesters, including juveniles, were arrested Sunday in San Fransico after a group began to vandalize property. Over on the East Coast, around 20 anti-ICE protesters were also led away by police in New York, following demonstrations in lower Manhattan.
On Monday, multiple people were arrested near San Francisco's City Hall after two small groups broke off from thousands of protestors marching peacefully to commit 'vandalism and other criminal acts,' police said.
A peaceful protest in Santa Ana developed into violence with rocks thrown and fireworks set off at law enforcement officers, officials say.
By Tuesday, clashes broke out between police and protesters near the ICE office in New York. Protesters were thrown to the ground as police tried to handcuff them. Others lobbed water bottles at officers.
After a protest Wednesday afternoon outside an ICE office in Spokane, Washington, Mayor Lisa Brown imposed a curfew in the city's downtown area. Thirty arrests were made, police said.
By Wednesday evening, 37 cities (and 21 states) had experienced protests against Trump's immigration raids, The Independent uncovered.
What has the reaction been?
Newsom and Bass have both continued to speak out against the president's decision to deploy the troops, describing it as 'unnecessary' and an attempt by the administration to create 'chaos.'
In a statement issued via email, the governor said that Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth 'want a spectacle' and violence.
Speaking to KTLA on Sunday, Bass said that Trump's action was unnecessary and 'just political.' By Monday, Newsom rebuked Trump's 'blatant abuse of power.'
'We will sue to stop this. The Courts and Congress must act. Checks and balances are crumbling,' he said. 'This is a red line — and they're crossing it. WAKE UP!'
In a televised address Tuesday, Newsom lambasted Trump for 'fanning the flames' of the LA protests, stating his 'brazen abuse of power' had 'inflamed a combustible situation.'
Wednesday, National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard has peddled the White House's theory that some protestors in LA are being 'clearly paid.'
Other Democrats, including Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and New Jersey Senator Corey Booker, backed Newsom and Bass, with Booker describing the president's actions as 'hypocritical at best.'
Why has the Mexican flag become a symbol of the protest?
A dramatic photograph showing a masked protester biking around a blazing car in Los Angeles has rapidly become a symbol of the anti-ICE riots.
Drone footage of the masked protester, in the Hispanic-majority city, was shared on X and went viral.
Many said it gave Trump a propaganda coup as he works to deport migrants from LA, and said the photo of the Mexican flag-waving protester was undermining their resistance.
Democrat supporter Armand Domalewski shared the video and claimed on X that the protester 'has to be a Republican plant,' with Australian political observer adding it was 'perfect propaganda footage for Trump.'

First Thing: Israel launches strikes on ‘dozens' of sites in Iran, targeting nuclear program
Good morning. Israel has launched an attack on Iran aimed at 'dozens' of targets including its nuclear facilities, military commanders and scientists, claiming it took unilateral action because Tehran had begun to build nuclear warheads. As Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, threatened 'severe punishment' against Israel, the Israeli military said on Friday morning that Iran had launched 100 drones aimed at Israel and that the country's defences had been focussed on intercepting them. Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said the Israeli attack, which it is calling Rising Lion, was aimed at 'rolling back the Iranian threat to Israel's very survival', adding that it would take 'many days'. What has the US said about the move? The US moved quickly to distance itself from Netanyahu's decision to target Tehran in an escalation that threatens an all-out war in the Middle East. The unilateral strikes indicated a collapse of Donald Trump's efforts to restrain the Israeli prime minister. Follow our live coverage here. An appeals court has temporarily returned control of California's national guard to Trump, just hours after a federal judge ruled the president's use of the guard to suppress protests in Los Angeles was illegal and banned it. The 9th US Circuit court of appeals order means Trump retains command of the guard for now and can continue to use personnel to respond to protests against his immigration crackdown. The court could later decide against his control. It's a temporary victory for Trump in back-and-forth court decisions on who should control the security force, an issue that has pitted California's governor, Gavin Newsom, against the president, and angered Democrats, who see the deployment as an abuse of power. What's happened to Alex Padilla? The Democratic California senator, was forcibly removed and handcuffed as he attempted to ask a question at a press conference held by Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, in Los Angeles yesterday. Rescue teams with sniffer dogs were combing the crash site of a London-bound passenger jet that ploughed into a residential area of Ahmedabad in India, killing at least 265 people onboard and on the ground. One man on the Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner – carrying 242 passengers and crew – survived Thursday's crash, which left the tailpiece of the aircraft jutting out of the second floor of a hostel for medical staff from a nearby hospital. Kanan Desai, the deputy commissioner of police, said 265 bodies had so far been counted, including people who died on the ground, but the toll may rise as more body parts are recovered. One of two black boxes had been found, the Hindustan Times reported. Who was the sole survivor? A British man Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, who was in seat 11A of the flight, survived the crash. He said: 'I have no idea how I exited the plane.' What caused the crash? A full investigation will be necessary but aviation experts say a range of potential factors could have been at play, from bird strike to sabotage. Follow our live coverage here. Trump has ordered the US government to consolidate its wildland firefighting force into a single program, despite warnings from former federal officials that it could be costly and increase the risk of catastrophic blazes. A Roman Catholic priest who admitted to child molestation has publicly recounted for the first time how New Orleans' archbishop tried to give him a second chance to continue his career. A judge released a Russian-born scientist and Harvard University researcher charged with smuggling frog embryos into the US yesterday, freeing her on bail after a brief hearing. During a congressional hearing yesterday, the US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, appeared to acknowledge that the Pentagon had contingency plans to take Greenland and Panama by force if necessary. The House narrowly voted yesterday to cut about $9.4bn in spending already approved by Congress. The package targets foreign aid programs and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which provides money for National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service, as well as thousands of public radio and television stations around the country. Credit card debt has ballooned to more than $1tn in the US over the last several years, and consumer advocates are worried that the debt burden is even worse with the growth of buy-now, pay-later (BNPL). In recent months, companies such as Klarna and Affirm have been partnering with companies such as Walmart and eBay so that nearly every purchase can be made using BNPL. The Brazilian government is preparing to stage an oil exploration auction, months before it hosts the Cop30 UN climate summit, despite opposition from environmental campaigners and Indigenous communities. The 'doomsday auction', as campaigners have called it, includes 47 blocks in the Amazon basin. Prairie dogs bark to alert each other to the presence of predators, with different cries depending on whether the threat is airborne or approaching by land. And according to new research, curlews have figured out that if they eavesdrop on these alarms, they may get a jump on predators coming for them, too.

‘The most subversive thing you can do is read': 2025's best graduation speeches
America's higher education may be under attack from the federal government – but students from the class of 2025 still have to graduate. And so commencement season, somehow, occurred, with the world's best and brightest politicians, entertainers and athletes, plus a frog, presenting their hard-earned wisdom. From Percival Everett to Simone Biles to President Trump himself, here are 10 lessons we've learned from the year's graduation speeches. Elizabeth Banks advised her fellow University of Pennsylvania grads not to put too much stock in pie metaphors. The biggest division in this country, the comedy actor and director said, was economic, with vast wealth concentrated in the hands of a small number of people. But they don't have a monopoly on the future. 'I can understand why you believe that life is a zero-sum game,' Banks said. 'If one person takes a bigger slice, everyone else has to take a smaller slice and the total size of the pie remains the same. And that is true with actual pie. But not with life. Not with opportunity. 'You're really only ever competing with yourself, with the limitations you're willing to accept, with the smallness of someone else's idea of what you're capable of. So stop competing and start beating the pie lie.' Unfortunately, one thing could stand in the way. 'The biggest derailment to the future you want to build is irresponsible ejaculation,' Banks warned. 'I know all the doctors on this stage with me agree that that is the cause of all unwanted pregnancy.' Everyone deserves to 'be able to determine whether, when and with whom you become a parent'. So, she said: 'Wrap it up. Keep abortion legal.' Levar Burton, the actor and TV host who inspired several generations of kids to read, brought his message to Howard University, where the crowd still knew the words to the Reading Rainbow theme song. At a dark time for America, he offered some hope. 'At every level, in every era as slaves and then as the descendants of slaves, we have challenged this nation to live up to the promise of its founding proposition that all men are created equal,' he said. 'In 2025, America is still addicted to its racism,' like 'an alcoholic who has yet to hit rock bottom'. Still, 'only in America could a descendant of slaves, for whom simply knowing how to read was once punishable by death, grow up and become a celebrated champion for literacy and the written word. This, too, is America. This is still a land of great promise and opportunity yet untold.' Burton said he only wished the country could live up to its original promise. 'To do that, she must shun the scourge of racist thinking and behaving and policymaking that holds this nation back. 'There's gonna be another day. You hear me? There's gonna be another day,' he told the crowd, referencing an ad-libbed line from the show Roots that lifted him to stardom. 'And even though the future may look uncertain, graduates … That day has arrived. This moment is yours to shape.' Speaking at Yale University, Jacinda Ardern noted the unexpected benefits of impostor syndrome and sensitivity. 'Self-doubt brings with it humility,' the former prime minister of New Zealand said. 'It drives you to seek information, to listen to experts who can teach you and advisers who can guide you.' And sensitivity – 'the thing that moves you to tears when you see the pain of others' – can 'be what drives you to action,' she added. 'In fact,' she said, 'all those traits that you might have believed your whole life were weaknesses – questioning yourself, the doubt that brings humility, or sensitivity that comes with empathy – may just be what the world needs more of.' At Bates College in Maine, the scholar and psychologist Angela Duckworth asked graduates and faculty to perform an excruciating experiment: handing their phones to the people next to them for a quarter of an hour. 'I want to talk about something that might seem trivial, but in fact has profound implications for your future success and happiness, something as consequential as your major or where you land your first job, and that's where you choose to keep your phone,' Duckworth said. Her research on goals and self-control had yielded a surprising conclusion, she said: 'Willpower is overrated. In study after study, psychologists like me have found that achieving what you want out of life has very little to do with forcing yourself to act in one way or another.' Instead, she said, successful people 'deliberately design their situations in ways that make wise choices easier' – a practice called 'situation modification'. Teenagers are spending eight hours a day looking at screens, she said. 'If you don't like how your phone grabs your attention, directs your thoughts, triggers your desires, then push it away. On the other hand, if you do want something to take up more of your conscious awareness, art, poetry, a really good novel, keep it as close as possible.' That goes for friends, too: 'Phones can connect us to people who are far away, but they can also separate us from the people right in front of us.' Percival Everett, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel James, gave a brief but stark call to action at Wesleyan University, describing this year's graduates as perhaps 'the last line of defense of and for American intellectual life'. Fascists, he said, burn books because 'they are afraid of thought'. Students, however, had learned to read – and not just books. 'You have learned to read the world, people, actions, conspiracies. You have learned to think for yourselves.' Everett called reading 'the most subversive thing you can do. When you read, no one knows what's going into you, even if they are reading over your shoulder, and they are.' His advice for graduates: 'I ask nothing more from you than to do what you have been doing. Go out into the fray and keep reading.' At his alma mater, the University of Southern California – known for producing Hollywood luminaries – the film-maker Jon M Chu emphasized the importance of a good story, especially at a time when it can feel like the world is falling apart. Right now, he said, familiar stories were disintegrating, and 'fear, blame, and division dominate our airwaves.' But instead of despairing, he added, this was 'a moment of profound opportunity. Because when the old stories fall apart, it means it's time to write a new one.' He continued: 'Whoever tells the best story holds the power. Your ability to understand, interpret, and ultimately shape stories is critically important no matter what you want to do.' Machines may be able to assess data and 'even create art, but they cannot authentically feel or intuitively connect. In whatever field you are in, your power to convey information in ways that emotionally connect will be more valuable than we even currently acknowledge.' Simone Biles is, of course, a top contender for the Greatest of All Time – but she told graduates at Washington University of St Louis that 'being the Goat was never the goal.' Instead, 'my goal was to be the greatest Simone Biles of all time.' Biles urged listeners to do the same: be the 'greatest you of all time' – and in the process, embrace failure. 'When you're reaching for things, you're going to fall short, and yes, sometimes you're going to fail,' she said. 'When – not if, but when – this happens to you, just learn from it, and move on to Plan B. If plan B doesn't work out, then make a Plan C, and then guess what – there's the rest of the alphabet. The key to success is the willingness to always find a way.' Graduates of the US Military Academy at West Point were treated to inspirational remarks by their commander-in-chief. Among other insights into the human condition, Donald Trump delved into questions of terminology, noting that the preferred term for people on the left is 'progressive' rather than 'liberal', and 'that's why I call them liberal'. He also questioned whether it was acceptable to say 'trophy wife', ultimately deciding that it was. Still, he cautioned against obtaining one. 'That doesn't work out too well, I must tell you,' he said as he regaled the newly minted officers with the life stories of the professional golfer Gary Player and real estate developer William Levitt. 'A lot of trophy wives – doesn't work out, but it made him happy for a little while at least. But he found a new wife. He sold his little boat and he got a big yacht,' Trump said of the latter. The president also pointed out that he won last year's election. At the University of Maryland – the alma mater of his creator, Jim Henson – Dr Kermit the Frog offered a sunny vision in challenging times. Life, he said, was about 'finding your people, taking the leap, and making connections'. 'Rather than jumping over someone to get what you want, consider reaching out your hand and taking the leap side by side. Because life is better when we leap together,' the frog advised. But, he warned biology majors: 'You're not going to get me to step foot inside your lab.' The physician and author Abraham Verghese spoke at Harvard University as it defends itself from the Trump administration's attempted crackdown on academia. Outrage over the government's actions, he said, should lead to new appreciation – 'appreciation for the rule of law and due process, which till now we took for granted', he said, as well as 'appreciation of actions that demonstrate thoughtfulness, decency, generosity, kindness, humility and service to community'. Verghese reflected on how, during the Aids epidemic, many young people returned to their home towns to spend their last days. 'Given the prevailing sentiments against gay people in small towns in the rural south, I found myself pleasantly surprised to find my patients were so well received by their families. They were cared for lovingly to the end. You see, love trumps all bigotry. Love trumps ideology.'

Israel and Iran's airstrikes and National Guard deployment rulings: Morning Rundown
Israel targeted Iran's nuclear sites in an attack escalating the conflict between the two countries. An appeals court allows Trump's authority over National Guard troops in L.A. to remain for now. And the sole survivor in an India plane crash that killed everyone else on board isn't sure how he escaped, his family said. Here's what to know today. Israel strikes Iran's nuclear sites in major attack The Israeli military launched a series of airstrikes against Iran on Friday in a dramatic escalation of their long-running conflict, raising fears of another war in the Middle East. Among those killed in the strikes was Mohammad Hossein Bagheri, Iran's most senior military official, multiple Iranian state news outlets reported. Hossein Salami, the commander in chief of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, was also killed in an attack at the Tehran headquarters, as well as a top IRGC official and at least two nuclear scientists, Iranian state media reported. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strikes were aimed at 'Iran's main enrichment facility' and scientists working on Iran's nuclear program, as well as targets associated with the country's ballistic missile program. Netanyahu claimed Iran posed a 'threat to Israel's very survival' and that its operation would continue 'for as many days as it takes to remove this threat.' The U.S. said it was not involved and was not providing assistance to Israel in the attacks. In fact, the Trump administration had been urging Israel to hold off on an attack as it continues talks with Iran on its nuclear program. Now, Israel's move appears to be a significant break with the Trump administration. And despite the U.S. denying its involvement in the attack, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi suggested the attack couldn't have happened 'without the coordination and approval of the United States.' Legal battle ensues over Trump's National Guard deployment President Donald Trump, for now, can keep control of the thousands of National Guard troops he deployed in response to immigration protests in Los Angeles, an appeals court ruled last night, pausing a lower court's order that found his actions to be unlawful. The decision from a three-judge panel in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals came hours after U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer issued a temporary restraining order that had been set to go into effect today, saying Trump's deployment of the troops was unlawful. While Breyer's order did not apply to the deployment of 700 Marines to L.A., the appeals court ruling does. The appeals court hearing on the matter is scheduled for Tuesday. The legal battle over the federalization of National Guard troops in California comes nearly a week after ICE raids in the city sparked days of protests and stoked tensions between Trump and California Gov. Gavin Newsom. After the lower court's ruling, Newsom said Breyer's decision showed Trump is not a 'monarch' and 'should stop acting like one.' Justice Department attorneys framed Breyer's ruling as an attack on Trump's presidential powers. Read the full story here. Meanwhile, tensions between the Trump administration and California leaders were also on display earlier Thursday when Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla of California was forcibly removed during Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's media event in L.A. related to immigration. 'I am Sen. Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary,' Padilla told Noem, which prompted several men dressed in plainclothes to push him out of the room. Once taken to a hallway, Padilla was pushed onto the ground and handcuffed. Noem falsely said in an interview on Fox News that Padilla did not identify himself and he was 'lunging toward the podium.' Padilla, in an interview with NBC News correspondent Jacob Soboroff, disputed her account. 'They said I wasn't wearing my pin. My polo says 'United States Senate,'' Padilla said. 'There was no threat. There was no lunging. I raised my voice to ask a question, and it took, what, maybe, half a second before multiple agents were on me.' Read more and watch Padilla's interview. More politics news: House Republicans clashed with three Democratic governors — New York's Kathy Hochul, Illinois' JB Pritzker and Minnesota's Tim Walz — in a tense immigration hearing in Washington, D.C. The incident involving Padilla forced the Trump administration to go on the offensive, politics reporter Natasha Korecki writes in an analysis, capping a week in which the Democratic Party seems to have finally found its voice. The Republican-led House voted to pass a rescissions package that codified cuts proposed by DOGE and clawed back $9.4 billion in previously approved funding for foreign aid, NPR and PBS. Trump is set to host a major military parade tomorrow celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary. It also happens to be his 79th birthday. Here's everything to know about the event. 1 survivor, 241 killed in Air India plane crash More than 240 people died — and one passenger survived — after an Air India plane crashed in the western Indian city of Ahmedabad shortly after takeoff Thursday. The London-bound Boeing 787-8 aircraft struck a building where medical students were sitting down to lunch shortly after it took off around 1:38 p.m., local time. Video showed the plane's landing gear was still down when it crashed and created a ball of flames. There were 230 passengers and 12 crew members on board, Air India said in a statement; 241 people were killed. The survivor, Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, is 'doing well' but 'psychologically disturbed' by the event, according to the medical director of the Civil Hospital, where he is being treated. Ramesh's family told NBC News' European partner, Sky News, that Ramesh was dazed and that he said he couldn't find his brother or any other passengers after the crash. 'It's a miracle that he survived,' said Ramesh's brother Nayan Kumar Ramesh. 'But what other miracle for my other brother?' Here's what else we know. Read All About It There are empty shelves at Whole Foods stores across the country, and a cyberattack is to blame. At least five people are dead and two are missing after floodwaters swept away 15 vehicles in San Antonio. A Harvard scientist who was arrested last month and accused of smuggling frog embryos into the U.S. was released from federal custody. Staff Pick: 'We're fighting for my girl's life' An 11-year-old girl and U.S. citizen who is recovering from a rare brain tumor is now in Mexico after her undocumented parents were deported four months ago. In an exclusive interview with reporter Nicole Acevedo, the girl's mother said her condition has worsened without the specialized care she was getting in Texas. They've filed for humanitarian parole, hoping they can come back to continue her treatment. 'She's not going to be cured overnight,' the mother said.
