Overview

  • ICE conducted June 6 raids at multiple Los Angeles-area workplaces, including Paramount, arresting at least 44 people on alleged immigration violations.
  • President Trump’s Saturday memo federalized California’s National Guard for a 60-day operation and Guard units arrived in Los Angeles on Sunday.
  • Protests continued through the weekend as demonstrators campaigned peacefully against ICE’s operations, though police detained more than a dozen people for impeding federal agents.
  • Finneas reported being tear-gassed at a downtown demonstration and shared the GI Rights Network hotline urging Guard and military members to refuse orders that violate constitutional rights.
  • Mayor Karen Bass condemned the federalization as inflaming tensions and undermining civil liberties.
