Recently, protests and riots broke out in Los Angeles (LA) and New York (NY) due to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) launching a surprise law enforcement operation, which aroused public dissatisfaction.
Los Angeles: Large-scale protests turned into violent clashes, the police used tear gas, and the National Guard was stationed to maintain stability.
New York: Protesters surrounded law enforcement vehicles and confronted the police, and more than 20 people were arrested.
This incident reflects the escalation of immigration policy disputes and has caused serious differences between federal and local governments. Analysis believes that related protests may spread to more cities.
In Los Angeles, the riots have lasted for many days, and the National Guard has been deployed. The protests are mainly concentrated in Paramount, Compton and downtown areas. The riots weakened on the morning of June 8, 2025, but organizers still planned to continue the demonstration that day.
In New York, the protests on June 7 did not subside. About 100 to 150 people gathered at Federal Plaza, confronted the police and made arrests.
