ICE Protest To Spread Across America, Trump Blasts Newsom: Live Updates

Cities across the U.S. are preparing for another day of immigration protests following a week of unrest that began in Los Angeles and spread nationwide. Los Angeles remains under an overnight curfew after demonstrations sparked by federal immigration raids turned violent.

President Donald Trump has deployed nearly 5,000 troops—including 700 Marines—to the city, escalating tensions with California officials. Trump lashed out at California Governor Gavin Newsom, calling him “incompetent” and accusing him of failing to protect ICE agents from what he described as a “mob of agitators, troublemakers, and/or insurrectionists.”

Governor Gavin Newsom called the deployment a “brazen abuse of power” and warned that unrest could spread to other states. Protests are planned for Wednesday in multiple cities, including New York, San Antonio, and Seattle.

What to Know:

• Over 330 people have been arrested in Los Angeles since protests began Friday. San Francisco reported over 240 arrests; dozens more occurred in cities like New York and Austin.
• 700 U.S. Marines will join the National Guard in LA starting Wednesday. Troops are assigned to protect federal personnel and buildings, including immigration officers.
• Trump claimed credit for reducing violence in LA and warned future demonstrators would face “very big force.” Officials confirmed discussions about expanding troop deployment beyond California.
• Governor Newsom condemned the troop deployment and warned that “other states are next.” LA Mayor Karen Bass said the military presence is inflaming the situation.
• A curfew covering a federal complex in downtown LA remains in place, following repeated clashes between protesters and law enforcement.
• Demonstrations were held on Tuesday in Chicago, Atlanta, and New York. More are planned in Las Vegas, Minneapolis, and other cities.
• A federal hearing is scheduled for Thursday to review California’s request to restrict military involvement in local law enforcement.
• A military parade in Washington, D.C., marking the Army’s 250th anniversary and Trump’s birthday, is expected to draw protests. Some officials have raised concerns over the parade’s optics amid unrest.
