Thousands gathered for a sixth straight night of protests in downtown Los Angeles on Wednesday, condemning President Donald Trump’s immigration raids as federal forces remain deployed in the city.
Crowds again flooded downtown streets on Wednesday evening in a wave of protests triggered by President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration crackdown. Demonstrators marched with banners and chanted in unison, calling for an end to mass deportations and the presence of federal troops in the city.
“Are you ready to stay in the streets?” one protester asked the crowd. “You are not alone. The world is watching Los Angeles.”
Wednesday marked the sixth day of protests in Los Angeles following Trump’s directive to escalate Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations nationwide. While most rallies have been peaceful, some have turned violent, prompting the deployment of Marines and the National Guard.
Federal officials say the troops are there to protect personnel and property during ongoing ICE raids and related unrest.
Trump, when asked about the protests spreading to other U.S. cities, focused squarely on L.A., blaming local officials for a lack of preparedness.
“We had to go in to save a lot of ICE officers… they were holed up in a building and they were being attacked,” the president said. “The military went in. The National Guard went in and got them.”
He added that Los Angeles police were “very late” in responding and said federal forces stopped “tremendous destruction and death.”
Meanwhile, U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli confirmed that federal prosecutors have filed charges against two protesters accused of using Molotov cocktails during earlier demonstrations.
“We’re looking at hundreds of people,” said Essayli. “We have FBI video, body cam, social media — we’re going to take our time and identify them.”
The protests, concentrated within several blocks of downtown L.A., erupted Friday after Trump announced a daily target of 3,000 migrant arrests. Critics argue the policy disproportionately affects vulnerable communities and incites tension between law enforcement and civilians.
With military forces still on the ground and federal investigations ongoing, tensions in Los Angeles show no signs of easing.
