Billie Eilish’s Brother Finneas Says He Was Tear-Gassed During LA Anti-ICE Protest
- On June 8, Grammy-winning musician Finneas O'Connell joined a calm demonstration in central Los Angeles opposing recent ICE raids, where he was quickly exposed to tear gas.
- The protest intensified amid President Trump’s deployment of roughly 300 National Guard troops to Los Angeles to address unrest over immigration enforcement actions the state labeled unconstitutional.
- Confrontations during the demonstrations resulted in over twenty arrests, reports emerged of immigrants being detained without warning, and some protesters caused property damage while law enforcement blocked key routes into the city.
- Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the National Guard deployment as a "serious breach of state sovereignty," while Mayor Karen Bass criticized it as "chaos provoked by the administration" during a press conference.
- The events highlight deep tensions between federal and state officials regarding immigration policy enforcement and raise concerns about escalating violence and constitutional authority in Los Angeles.
