Overview

  • President Trump has deployed about 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 active-duty Marines to Los Angeles to protect federal agents and buildings after large-scale ICE raids triggered mass protests.
  • Downtown Los Angeles remains under a nightly curfew as demonstrations have spread to nearly 30 cities in reaction to aggressive immigration enforcement.
  • Governor Gavin Newsom filed suit to block the military deployment under the Insurrection Act, with a U.S. district judge set to hear arguments this afternoon.
  • ICE detention centers are holding roughly 55,000 people in facilities funded for 41,500 beds, prompting plans to use military bases to house migrants.
  • While the administration’s raids have cut border crossings sharply, they have also prompted legal challenges over due process and warnings of labor shortages and economic disruption.
