Here Are Some of the Southern California Immigration Raids From the Past Week
Tension has been growing for months over the Trump administration's aggressive efforts to deport people who remain in the United States illegally.
But the situation escalated in Los Angeles about a week ago. After protesters converged on immigration raids and demonstrated against U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officials, President Trump deployed 2,000 California National Guard troops to the city.
While the focus has turned to ensuing protests in downtown Los Angeles and the heavy military response — the call-up has since increased to 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines — ICE agents have continued immigration raids each day in Southern California.
It is difficult to have a comprehensive picture of the ICE efforts because the agency does not issue a list of people who have been detained each day nor the locations where they were taken from, and authorities did not confirm the number of raids they conducted in California this week.
But residents, immigrant rights groups and elected leaders have cobbled together accounts of ICE workplace raids that they describe as indiscriminate attempts to find anyone who might be undocumented.

Melania Trump compared to 'grandma's couch' in floral pants outfit with bright heels
Melania Trump compared to 'grandma's couch' in floral pants outfit with bright heels Show Caption Hide Caption Melania Trump statue sawed off, stolen A bronze statue of Melania Trump has gone missing in her home country of Slovenia, five years after it replaced a wooden statue that was burned. First Lady Melania Trump's risky fashion behavior has fully bloomed. With summer underway, the ultra-private wife of President Donald Trump made an appearance on June 12, as dozens flocked to the White House South Lawn for the 2025 Congressional Picnic. Again, Trump raised eyebrows after sporting Dolce and Gabbana peony-print cotton jacquard pants and pink suede Manolo Blahnik pumps while greeting guests during the event. The List, an entertainment and lifestyle site geared towards women, said the "eye-popping pants look like grandma's couch." Melania Trump wears black veil to Pope Francis' funeral as President Trump dons blue suit Trump's fashion choices, which are thought to reveal subtle hints about her mood, are the subject of fierce controversy and constant attention. On Jan. 20, she emerged in a dark navy silk wool coat and skirt with an ivory silk crepe blouse designed by Adam Lippes for her husband's second inauguration ceremony. Although she often surprises watchers with her bargain buys and luxurious looks alike, the low-key black dress (and viral matching wide-brim hat) at the swearing-in was a stark departure from the Jacqueline Kennedy-inspired powder blue dress that she wore for her husband's first inauguration in 2017. The former fashion model — and first practicing Catholic to serve as first lady since Jacqueline Kennedy — also made headlines when she attended the April 26 service of Pope Francis in a double-breasted coat dress paired with a traditional veil, gloves and black stilettos.
