Overview
- After ICE raids on June 6, the administration sent thousands of National Guard members and hundreds of U.S. Marines to Los Angeles in response to protests that sometimes turned violent.
- A federal judge ordered the withdrawal of troops but an appeals court stayed that ruling, allowing forces to remain deployed in the city.
- Demonstrations against Trump’s immigration policies have spread to New York, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and San Antonio.
- A Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 48% of Americans support deploying the military to quell violent protests and 52% back ramping up deportations, with views split sharply along party lines.
- Organizers have called for a nationwide 'No Kings' protest to condemn the federal military deployment and the administration’s immigration raids.
