"Summer of American Unrest: Trump Deploys Troops to Suppress, Los Angeles Becomes the 'Flashpoint'"

Every summer, the United States loves to stir things up. But the summer of 2025 arrived particularly early.

On June 6, Trump ordered ICE to arrest over 40 illegal immigrants in Los Angeles, followed by the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops. This was just the prologue: the Army and Marine Corps were also subsequently deployed, the situation escalated completely, Los Angeles entered a state of emergency, and a curfew was implemented in the city center.

Why did Los Angeles explode first? It is one of the cities in the U.S. with the highest percentage of foreign immigrants—some areas have over 80% of residents being Spanish-speaking, making it a key target for Trump's "largest-scale deportation operation."

Protesters burned cars and blocked roads, surrounding the ICE federal building and Home Depot stores, with tear gas and flashbangs deployed. The unrest spread to San Francisco, with authorities urgently arresting over a hundred people. Trump took a hard stance: "These rioters waving foreign flags are attacking national sovereignty."

However, polls show that nearly half of Americans oppose the use of military force to suppress protests.

The Trump administration's rapid response and broad deployment seem premeditated. The White House bets that "order and toughness" can win over moderate voters, but will this action ignite a larger scale of social division? Will the immigration controversy behind the unrest impact the U.S. economy and market confidence?

This is just the beginning.
