🚨💥 Protests Escalate in Los Angeles After National Guard Deployment Amid Immigration Crackdown
By Jason Dearen, Jaimie Ding, and Jake Offeenhartz.- Tensions in Los Angeles intensified Sunday as thousands protested President Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to the city in response to immigration enforcement actions. Demonstrators clashed with law enforcement, blocking freeways and setting self-driving cars on fire as the government used tear gas, flashbangs, and rubber bullets to disperse the crowds. The protests were sparked by federal arrests of immigrants, which had already caused unrest across the city. Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass criticized the deployment as a breach of state sovereignty, with Newsom calling for the National Guard's removal. In response, Trump’s administration defended the actions, arguing that federal intervention was necessary to restore order. As tensions rose, protests spread to other areas, including Paramount and Compton, reflecting the growing anger over the administration's immigration policies.
🚨 Protests and Legal Guidance Amid ICE Raids in California: A Look at Your Rights
By Karen Garcia, Los Angeles Times.- As federal immigration raids escalate across Southern California, especially in Los Angeles, workers and community members are increasingly concerned about their rights during interactions with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). ICE agents arrested individuals at workplaces like Ambiance Apparel in the garment district and other locations. This move follows weeks of immigration crackdowns, with heightened tensions leading to protests in Los Angeles. These protests have intensified after Trump deployed National Guard troops to manage the situation.
The most critical aspect of these raids is understanding what to do when ICE arrives, whether at home, in transit, or at the workplace. Legal experts and advocacy groups offer several key pieces of advice, emphasizing the importance of knowing your rights. If ICE knocks on your door, you can ask for a valid warrant, remain silent, and avoid answering questions about your immigration status. Businesses should have a response plan to protect their employees and ensure that agents follow the proper legal protocol before entering private spaces.
Key Guidance During ICE Raids:
At Home: Do not open the door unless ICE presents a valid search warrant signed by a judge. You have the right to remain silent and to contact a lawyer.
At Work: Employers should prepare a response plan. ICE needs a valid warrant to enter private business areas. Workers should avoid interacting directly with ICE unless instructed by management.
In Public: On public transport or while driving, remain silent, and you may refuse searches unless the agent has a valid reason.
Increased protests reflect community frustration with ongoing immigration enforcement, highlighting a critical moment for legal advocacy and civil rights protection.

🔫 Mexican Police Clash with Cartels in Guatemala, Four Criminals Killed 💥
Mariana Morales, El Norte.- On Sunday, June 8, 2025, Chiapas police crossed into Guatemala to engage in a gunfight with criminals, resulting in at least four deaths. The altercation began in Las Champas, Mexico, and continued across the border into Huehuetenango, Guatemala. Local residents reported hearing gunfire for several minutes in a commercial area. Armed men in tactical gear attacked Mexican forces in the area, leading to a prolonged firefight. Guatemalan military and police intervened, and the border was temporarily closed.
