President Trump deployed 2,700 federal troops to Los Angeles despite California’s objections. The state sued, calling it unconstitutional. Homeland Security claims the protests were pre-planned and linked to gangs. LA Mayor Bass condemned the federal actions, calling the city a “testing ground.” A federal judge blocked Trump’s use of an 18th-century law for mass deportations. Nationwide protests erupted, including a high-profile arrest of union leader David Huerta and a demonstration at Trump Tower with 24 detentions.
