As LA tensions flare, anti-ICE protests crop up nationwide
As LA tensions flare, anti-ICE protests crop up nationwide Show Caption Hide Caption Anti-ICE raid demonstrators protest into fourth night Anti-immigration raid protests are continuing into the fourth night as the Pentagon deployed active-duty U.S. Marines. As protests in Los Angeles over the Trump administration's immigration crackdown prepare to enter their fifth day, demonstrations have sprung up in major cities around the country. Demonstrations were reported by local news outlets and police departments in at least a dozen cities that included San Francisco, New York, Washington, Boston, Dallas, Chicago and Atlanta in recent days. The protests assembled outside courthouses and local immigration agency offices and in a few instances led to arrests. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is carrying out a directive from President Donald Trump to find immigrants living in the United States without legal status. Protests have sprung up against the sweeps the agency is carrying out in various neighborhoods. Most have remained peaceful, but a few escalated into clashes with police. The protests in Los Angeles have also ignited a showdown between the federal government and local leaders including California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Trump activated 4,000 National Guard members and hundreds of U.S. Marines despite objections by Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. Anti-ICE protests spread coast-to-coast Demonstrations across the country cropped up to oppose ICE raids, while others gathered in counties neighboring Los Angeles. Some of the protests were launched by union members in response to the arrest of David Huerta, president of the Service Employees International Union California (SEIU), in Los Angeles on June 6. Huerta was arrested and charged with felony conspiracy to impede an officer while protesting, with federal prosecutors saying he impeded agents from accessing a worksite suspected of employing undocumented immigrants by sitting in front of the only entrance. More than 200 union members and supporters in Boston gathered outside City Hall on June 9, NPR affiliate WBUR reported. In Washington, D.C., hundreds gathered outside the Department of Justice and FBI buildings and marched through the city protesting both ICE raids and Huerta's arrest, according to WUSA9. "I'm out here today because I'm angry about what's going on in our government," Eileen Duffey, a protester in Philadelphia, told the station WPVI. Arrests were made at some of the protests. In Dallas, one person was arrested after police declared a demonstration unlawful, CBS News Texas reported. The protest started out peacefully, but later in the evening a firework exploded near police, the outlet said. In Austin, Texas, police fired less-lethal munitions and detained several people as they clashed with a crowd of several hundred protesters. More than 30 were arrested in New York City on June 9 with more protests expected June 10, ABC 7 reported. Among those arrested in New York were about two dozen arrested from the lobby of Trump Tower, the outlet reported. Protests turn to clashes with police in Los Angeles Protests began on June 6 in response to the Trump administration's crackdown with immigration raids in Southern California. They have been mostly peaceful, and began after ICE sweeps in and around Los Angeles resulted in more than 40 arrests. Tensions flared between protesters and police, turning chaotic and sometimes violent. Most of the unrest is taking place across a few square miles in a mostly commercial area downtown. On June 9, LAPD said protesters threw objects at officers near the federal courthouse, prompting use of gas canisters and other munitions. Bass said over 100 people were arrested Monday night, blaming "fringe groups" for violence. More protests are expected June 10, the fifth day of demonstrations. A tense standoff also unfolded between the administration and California authorities, who say the use of the National Guard and U.S. Marines is an unlawful subversion of Newsom's authority. Bass called Trump's escalation of military presence a "deliberate attempt to create disorder and chaos in our city." Contributing: Thao Nguyen and John Bacon, USA TODAY; Reuters

I'm the daughter of immigrants. The LA I know isn't in the news.
is an Associate Director, Audience at Vox. Born and raised in Los Angeles, she graduated from USC with degrees in broadcast and digital journalism and narrative studies My mom has been a housekeeper for as long as I can remember. As a child, I'd accompany her on the bus to the houses she cleaned, impressed with how it seemed like she knew just about everyone en route to their own jobs. There was always friendly acknowledgment and solidarity — especially with those in restaurant uniforms or carrying their own cleaning supplies. Some of the people she befriended became trusted confidants she'd recruit to help with strenuous cleaning gigs and eventually help land custodial jobs with the city of Los Angeles. Many years later, these individuals would pool together money to ensure I didn't fly across the country to an internship in New York City empty-handed, even though they didn't have much to give. Getting a front-row seat to the community my mom built with others who worked low-wage jobs with long hours — for a shot at not just a better life for their families but for survival — was one of the most special acts of camaraderie I've had the privilege to witness. My mom never complained. Neither did her friends. Their resilience, both mental and physical, taught me to acknowledge people who so often get overlooked. I thought of them as I said hello to the custodians who worked early mornings and late nights at the University of Southern California while I attended school there. I thought of them as I translated the news for social media posts in my previous job at the Los Angeles Times, understanding that language barriers can make receiving quality information much harder. And I thought of them and others who had taken similar journeys to LA as US Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducts aggressive immigration raids throughout the city. Hundreds of protesters call for an end to immigration sweeps across Los Angeles by ICE on June 5, 2025. Genaro Molina/Los Angeles Times via Getty Images In the last few weeks, ICE has intensified its operations throughout the US. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller urged immigration enforcement to make at least 3,000 arrests a day. The Trump administration has frequently targeted 'sanctuary jurisdictions' with large immigrant populations like Los Angeles, arguing they are getting in the way of its campaign promise to deport millions of people. Thousands of demonstrators protested ICE and its raids over the weekend, leading to clashes with the police, and President Donald Trump deploying the National Guard to LA. As of Tuesday, the administration has also sent in around 700 Marines. Images of Los Angeles Police Department officers in riot gear, demonstrators blocking the 101 freeway, infographics with resources for undocumented immigrants, and arrests flooded my social media feeds. A video of a man being detained by ICE outside of his workplace went viral. His daughter, who filmed the post, cries in the background, telling him how much she loves him while reminding him of his rights. As she tries to plead with him, he remains calm. His bravery reminded me of my mom, whose quiet demeanor eclipses the sacrifices she's made to give her five children a better life. In the wake of the protests, Trump posted on Truth Social, 'A once great American City, Los Angeles, has been invaded and occupied by Illegal Aliens and Criminals. Now violent, insurrectionist mobs are swarming and attacking our Federal Agents to try and stop our deportation operations — But these lawless riots only strengthen our resolve...' The LA I know, the city I grew up in and care deeply about, hasn't been 'invaded' and isn't a 'lawless' place that requires federal force. While so much media focuses on protests, further legitimizing Trump's war zone narrative, an important story is being overlooked: immigrants, like many detained outside of their workplaces, and like my mom, have quietly built this city. Related Trump deploying the National Guard is part of a bigger plan More immigrants live in California than in any other state. Undocumented Californians paid $96.7 billion in taxes in 2022, all while being generally unable to access services their taxes help fund, like Medicaid and housing assistance. Over one in three Angelenos are immigrants, and while estimates vary, there could be about 1 million undocumented LA residents. And there is no LA without Latinos. The city was originally a part of Mexico, and Latino influence remains a cornerstone of its identity. Its namesake, neighborhoods, and street names (Los Feliz, San Pedro, La Cienega, La Brea, and more) reflect its Spanish-speaking origins. Olvera Street, the colorful marketplace, and Union Station, a transit hub that combines modern and Latin architectural styles, are only two examples of culturally significant landmarks. Latinos comprise almost half of the Los Angeles Dodgers' fan base and have endearingly called the team 'Los Doyers' for decades. The late baseball star Fernando Valenzuela was a pitching pioneer in Major League Baseball. The city, known as a major culinary destination, boasts all kinds of regional Mexican and Central American cuisines. You can find Oaxacan tlayudas, Sinaloan aguachiles, Salvadoran pupusas, and Guatemalan tamales all within a 30-minute radius. In that same Truth Social post, Trump wrote that Los Angeles would be set free. But how could it be liberated from the same generations of people who continue to help define it? Olvera Street in Los Angeles on June 6, 2025. Myung J. Chun/Los Angeles Times via Getty Images Contrary to what some headlines might suggest, the backlash on LA's streets and displays of support online are unsurprising. There's a long history of social justice activism here: demands for educational equity in the East Los Angeles walkouts in 1968, solidarity with farmworker strikes demanding better labor conditions in the '70s, the 1992 Rodney King uprising against police brutality, and protests in 2020 following George Floyd's murder. What's being demonstrated now is a city united with people who aren't invaders or occupants, but who are LA. There are too many stereotypes about Los Angeles to count. One commonly heard narrative, likely from the influx of transplants coming to take advantage of the entertainment industry, presumes that so many people are driven by their own personal gains, and are too unwilling to venture outside of their affluent neighborhoods to care about others on a macro level. This couldn't be further from the truth. Earlier this year, California experienced the Eaton and Palisades fires. In the aftermath of the tragedy, Angelenos banded together to support their communities. Volunteers assembled food packages and sorted through donations. Several local restaurants offered free food to victims and first responders. Countless grassroots efforts directly supported displaced individuals. This sense of empathy isn't limited to large-scale catastrophes. I live in the South Bay, where people are eager to support their villages. They contribute to GoFundMes to help alleviate hospital bills and funeral expenses. They support small businesses, volunteer their time at fundraisers, participate in meal trains, and share helpful events and resources on their social media profiles. There's a painful disconnect between sensationalized storytelling and the Los Angeles I've known and lived in for my entire life. As I scroll through videos of vandalism outside city hall, officers teargassing protesters, and children terrified about where their parents are headed to, I can't help but feel both immense grief and anger. It's easy for cameras to capture chaos and unrest, rather than the circumstances that led people to leave their country of origin. It's easy for trolls online to suggest that people should have come here legally, without acknowledging the intricate process and undocumented immigrants' predisposition to exploitation. Stories about immigrants are not always afforded nuance. Their humanity is stripped as they are categorized into political talking points or condensed into data figures. The actions they've taken to change the trajectory of their families' lives are what many others would do in their position, but are judged differently because of the framing. The lives they actually live — the callouses they've developed on their hands after years of labor many couldn't imagine undertaking, the people they make laugh, the motivations that drive them, their homesickness for places that don't exist anymore — are often ignored. It hurts because I am familiar with the people behind the headlines. They raised me. As news coverage and political figures paint my hometown as a disorderly battleground overrun with 'illegals,' I wish they could understand the LA I know and am proud to live in. It's where people acknowledge those who quietly live up to the American ethos of pulling themselves up by their bootstraps despite not living in a meritocracy, with little recognition and not even so much as a 'hello' in passing. It's where camaraderie runs deep, whether people are contributing to mutual aid funds or ensuring their friend's daughter gets to pursue her dreams in a state they might never visit. Los Angeles's foundation is made up of people like my mom, who understand hardship, but continue to choose generosity instead.
