After sending the National Guard to quell demonstrations, the president’s next move could be dispatching Marines to the country’s second-largest city.

Flaming self-driving Waymo cars, "Death 2 ICE" spray-painted across the entrance of a boarded T-Mobile store, highway overpasses dotted with anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) graffiti, swaths of police cars lined up. These are some of the scenes captured by photojournalists during mass protests against immigration raids in Los Angeles over the weekend. The demonstrations reached a climax after President Trump deployed the National Guard without California Governor Gavin Newsom's consent in a rare exercise of power for a sitting president. Hundreds poured onto the streets of Downtown Los Angeles and nearby Paramount — a small city with a large Latino population — in a series of demonstrations that began last Friday, June 6, and... At least 56 protesters were reported to have been arrested as of this writing. Protesters first gathered in the city's fashion district, where ICE was conducting an immigration raid, prompting further demonstrations in front of the Los Angeles Federal Building later that day.

The Trump administration invoked a federal law that grants the president authority to mobilize the National Guard, usually controlled by state governors, to "suppress ... rebellion." Newsom condemned the president's intervention as a "serious breach of state sovereignty" and announced that he is suing Trump. Newsom also called the move illegal. During a dramatic third day of protests, approximately 300 Trump-deployed members of the California National Guard stood in front of federally controlled buildings, including a detention facility, in opposition to protesters who called for... Protesters carried Mexican flags, makeshift signs defending immigrants' rights, and covered their faces and eyes. Find this story in your account’s ‘Saved for Later’ section.

Yesterday, for the third day in a row, anti-ICE demonstrations kicked off in Los Angeles. I spent the day documenting the protests as they moved around Downtown, from the Metropolitan Detention Center to City Hall to the 101 freeway. It’s hard to say definitively, since chaos was unfolding in a few locations, but the law-enforcement response to the protests I photographed felt excessive. On multiple occasions, I saw what appeared to be police opening fire directly into crowds with “less lethal” rounds in response to plastic water bottles being thrown at them. Videos are circulating of protesters being run over by horses and a journalist being shot with a rubber bullet. I narrowly missed being hit by rounds several times.

I was unsuccessful in avoiding getting tear-gassed. There is, of course, some anxiety when documenting these events that the photos and videos you’re taking may feed into the narrative about Los Angeles being pushed by Trump and his supporters on the... Whenever I took a photo of something on fire or something being thrown at police, it felt like I was one of 100 photographers doing so. (I have now seen the shirtless person on top of a trashed Waymo pictured below from around 50 different angles in addition to my own.) By contrast, I have seen maybe one photo from... And even when mayhem did erupt, it was generally possible to walk half a block to buy an ice cream from a street vendor or have your photo taken with the person who turned... Here’s what I saw.

National Guard troops were on the ground in Los Angeles following weekend protests in opposition to President Donald Trump's immigration policies that saw clashes between demonstrators and police officers in riot gear. Marines at Camp Pendleton were "on high alert," according to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who warned the Pentagon was ready to mobilize troops if "violence continues" in the city. On the social media platform X, California Gov. Gavin Newsom called Hegseth's threat to deploy active troops on American citizens "deranged behavior." In a June 8 social media post Trump said, "These Radical Left protests, by instigators and often paid troublemakers, will NOT BE TOLERATED." White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump signed a memo... In an earlier post, Newsome accused Trump of deploying the National Guard "not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle."

As demonstrators in Los Angeles took to the streets to protest ICE agents raiding their neighborhoods and communities, they were met with tear gas, shields, and the full weight of state power. Orders that bypassed Gov. Gavin Newsom and came straight from President Donald Trump.

Once tensions reached a boiling point, protesters flooded downtown in response to Trump’s deployment of the National Guard, blocking off a major freeway as law enforcement tried to control the crowd with tear gas...

The last time the National Guard was deployed without the governor’s permission was in 1965, when President Lyndon B. Johnson sent troops to protect a civil rights march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.

LOS ANGELES, CA-- At least 300 California National Guard troops were deployed by President Trump over the weekend over the objections of state and local leaders in response to immigration protests in Los Angeles. The soldiers' presence in downtown LA further exacerbated a tense situation, and violence broke out resulting in several arrests, burning cars, some looting and the use of tear gas and flash bang ammunition. It's not the first time Trump has activated the National Guard. In 2020, Trump asked governors to respond to demonstrations in Washington DC after the killing of George Floyd in Minnesota.

The governors that refused to send troops were allowed to do so and keep their resources on home soil. However, this time Trump is acting in opposition to Governor Gavin Newsom, who would normally retain control and command of California's National Guard. While Trump said that federalizing the troops was necessary to “address the lawlessness” in California, the Democratic governor said the move was “purposely inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.” Since the troops have been deployed, many protestors have been injured in the clashes. Governor Newsom said he planned to file a lawsuit Monday against President Trump in response to the administration's National Guard deployment.
