#TrumpTariffs Protests spiral over Los Angeles immigration raids; Trump vows to 'crush rioters'
The Trump administration has announced the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to California as federal agents clash with protesters for a second day in Los Angeles, following ICE-led immigration raids.
The latest flashpoint erupted in Paramount, where armed federal agents in tactical gear used tear gas and flashbangs against growing crowds. Protesters-many masked and waving flags-chanted "ICE out of Paramount" as streets were shut down and scenes of unrest unfolded.$XRP
California Governor Gavin Newsom called the move "purposefully inflammatory", while Trump fired back on Truth Social, blasting state leadership and vowing that the federal government will "solve the problem".
