U.S. immigration authorities escalated operations in the Los Angeles area after protests emerged against ICE enforcement activities, including arrests and use of tear gas. Protesters gathered demanding the release of detained immigrants, while the Mayor of Los Angeles criticized the actions of ICE as terrorizing the community. ICE's Acting Director responded sharply, asserting that they would continue enforcing immigration laws regardless of local opposition. This situation reflects ongoing tensions surrounding immigration enforcement under the Trump administration's policies.
The activity was meant to sow terror in the nation's second-largest city, according to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.
ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons chided Bass for the city's response to protests, claiming that she chose chaos over law enforcement.
