Protests Erupt Across the US Against Immigration Policies

Amidst President Donald Trump's controversial immigration policies, protests have spread across the United States. Trump's decision to deploy federal forces, including the National Guard and Marines, to Los Angeles has sparked demonstrations in multiple cities. These actions have been met with resistance from local authorities, notably California Governor Gavin Newsom, who criticizes Trump’s measures as authoritarian.

The deployment of troops is seen as an unprecedented move since the 1960s, intensifying tensions between federal and state governments. The protests, initially peaceful, have occasionally turned violent, leading to clashes with law enforcement. Despite curfews and a strong police presence, demonstrators have continued to voice their opposition to the aggressive immigration enforcement tactics.

Trump has faced criticism for his inflammatory rhetoric, labeling protesters as "animals" and threatening "very harsh violence." Meanwhile, his administration is preparing for a large military parade in Washington, which coincides with Trump’s birthday, further fueling nationwide protests. As tensions remain high, a federal judge is set to review the legality of the troop deployment, highlighting the ongoing struggle over states' rights and federal authority in immigration policy.
