Overview

  • On June 6, ICE agents carried out coordinated raids at a Home Depot and other day-labor sites in Los Angeles under directives to arrest individuals without criminal convictions.
  • Demonstrators confronted federal officers over several days, leading to clashes in which law enforcement used tear gas and flash-bang grenades to disperse crowds.
  • President Trump ordered 2,000 National Guard troops under a federal deployment statute to protect ICE and other personnel amid escalating unrest.
  • Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta have filed a lawsuit challenging the legality of the National Guard deployment in California.
  • White House adviser Stephen Miller has pushed ICE to meet a new daily arrest target of 3,000 and aims to deport 1 million people within President Trump’s first year.
