Jan. 6 Riot Victims See Hypocrisy in Trump's Response to L.A. Protests

  • In early June 2025, President Trump directed the deployment of 2,000 California National Guard members to Los Angeles in response to protests triggered by federal immigration enforcement actions.
  • This action followed heightened unrest triggered by ICE raids and demonstrations demanding an end to harsh immigration enforcement, drawing sharp political criticism.
  • Trump labeled the protests as violent insurrectionist mobs and criticized local officials who opposed the Guard deployment, contrasting with his delayed response to the January 6 Capitol riot.
  • Critics pointed to Trump's pardons of January 6 rioters and his description of their actions as a “day of love,” highlighting perceptions of hypocrisy amid his harsh stance on Los Angeles protesters.
  • The contrasting responses intensified political divisions and prompted California to sue the Trump administration for unauthorized National Guard deployment, signaling ongoing conflict over federal authority and protest policing.
