Anti-ICE Protests Pop up in Cities Across the Country
- In June 2025, protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids erupted in Los Angeles and spread nationwide to multiple U.S. cities.
- The protests followed federal immigration raids in Los Angeles that led President Trump to deploy about 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to maintain order.
- Protests involved both peaceful rallies, such as thousands attending City Hall in Los Angeles and Boston gatherings supporting David Huerta, and violent clashes with arrests, including 13 arrested in Austin after demonstrators threw rocks and bottles.
- President Trump called protesters "animals" and "a foreign enemy," vowed to keep troops deployed until peace is restored, and indicated openness to invoking the Insurrection Act for domestic military deployment.
- The events underscore escalating national tensions over immigration enforcement, with activists planning further demonstrations especially coinciding with the president’s June 14 birthday and a military parade in Washington, D.C.
