Protesters gathered in Los Angeles to demonstrate against ICE raids, with police in riot gear firing flash bangs and rubber bullets to disperse crowds. Multiple demonstrators were arrested and loaded onto police buses with zip-tied hands after being warned to disperse near the Arts District and Little Tokyo. President Trump doubled the National Guard deployment to the area, activating an additional 2,000 service members alongside approximately 700 Marines, prompting California to file a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the deployment.
