June 6, 2025: ICE conducted massive raids in the Fashion District, a Home Depot, and other places—arresting dozens of undocumented migrants—sparking protests that began peacefully before escalating
June 7–8: Demonstrations in Downtown LA, Compton, and Paramount grew tense. Protesters blocked the 101 Freeway, hurled objects at law enforcement, and set Waymo robotaxis ablaze. Police responded with tear gas, flash-bangs, rubber bullets, and other crowd-control tactics .

Military deployment: President Trump invoked the Insurrection Act, federalizing up to 4,000 California National Guard troops and deploying 700 Marines to protect federal facilities like the Wilshire Federal Building
Clashes & arrests: Around 411 people have been arrested. Some confrontations became violent, and military personnel even conducted a known civilian detention—an Army veteran—marking a rare use of active-duty forces in U.S. domestic affairs

Legal aftermath: California’s governor sued, and a federal court briefly ruled the deployment illegal under the Tenth Amendment—though that decision was promptly stayed pending further appeal
