Trump Bans Face Masks at Los Angeles Protests
Israa Farhan In an escalation of tensions over ongoing protests against immigration raids in Los Angeles, former President Donald Trump announced on Sunday a new ban on wearing face masks during demonstrations. The decision, effective immediately, is intended to reinforce law enforcement's control over the growing public unrest opposing federal deportation policies. The former president praised the performance of the National Guard, which was deployed a day earlier to manage the situation. He commended their efforts in restoring order following two consecutive days of protests and violent clashes, describing their response as excellent. Los Angeles has been at the center of intense confrontations after sweeping immigration raids led to the arrest of dozens of individuals, triggering widespread backlash. Hundreds of demonstrators have taken to the streets in what they describe as a fight against migrant intimidation. In response, the Trump administration deployed 2,000 National Guard troops across the city on Saturday. The protests, now in their second day, have seen growing tensions between demonstrators and federal agents. US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth confirmed the Pentagon is prepared to activate regular military units if violence continues. He added that Marine units at Camp Pendleton, located just outside the city, have been placed on high alert. One of the more volatile confrontations occurred Saturday in the Paramount area, southeast of Los Angeles, where federal agents clashed with protestors, some of whom waved Mexican flags. Later in the evening, another smaller protest of about 60 people took place in downtown LA, with chants against federal immigration enforcement echoing through the streets. Federal authorities reported over a dozen arrests on Sunday following direct altercations between demonstrators and federal agents. Bill Iseli, US Attorney for the Central District of California, confirmed the detentions and stated that those arrested were charged with obstructing federal law enforcement efforts. Specific details and formal charges have not yet been released. Iseli warned that authorities will continue to detain anyone who interferes with federal law enforcement operations, as the government intensifies its crackdown on what it sees as efforts to hinder immigration control. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan
