Overview

  • President Trump instructed ICE to largely halt raids and arrests in agricultural businesses, hotels, and restaurants after landowners warned of severe labor shortages.
  • Protests have spread beyond Los Angeles, with over 2,000 rallies planned across the US on Saturday as Washington hosts a military parade.
  • About 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines remain deployed in Los Angeles despite a federal judge’s ruling that the deployment was unlawful and an appeals court’s temporary stay.
  • US Marines made their first known civilian arrest during the demonstrations when they detained a 27-year-old veteran near a federal building.
  • Security forces forcibly removed Senator Alex Padilla from a press conference by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, prompting bipartisan criticism over civil liberties.
