Trump Declares Emergency Crackdown on 1 Million Migrants as Los Angeles Riots Escalate
After ordering deployment of National Guard troops across the city, Donald Trump has warned of mass deportations by ‘expelling’ all illegal migrants.
President Donald Trump has initiated a sweeping federal crackdown on undocumented immigrants, declaring a state of emergency in Los Angeles amid escalating protests against recent immigration raids. The President labeled the situation a “migrant invasion” and authorized the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to restore order, marking the first such action since 1967. This move has intensified tensions between federal and state authorities, with California officials condemning the intervention as unlawful and politically motivated.
The federal government has escalated its immigration enforcement efforts, aiming to apprehend approximately 3,000 undocumented immigrants daily. These operations have led to over 100 arrests in Los Angeles alone, targeting individuals in workplaces such as the Fashion District and Home Depot. The raids have sparked widespread protests, with demonstrators accusing federal agents of overreach and violating civil rights.
Protests erupted across Los Angeles, particularly in downtown areas, as residents rallied against the raids. Clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement escalated, with the use of tear gas and less-lethal munitions to disperse crowds. The deployment of National Guard troops has further inflamed the situation, leading to confrontations between federal forces and local protesters.
California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass have condemned the federal intervention, labeling it an infringement on state sovereignty. Governor Newsom described the deployment as “purposefully inflammatory,” while Mayor Bass emphasized the right to peaceful protest and criticized the use of military force against civilians. In response, President Trump accused local officials of failing to maintain order and threatened to withhold federal funds from sanctuary cities.
Civil rights organizations have raised alarms over the legality and human impact of the federal crackdown. Critics argue that the mass deportations disproportionately affect immigrant communities and may violate constitutional protections. Reports indicate that detainees have faced inadequate access to food, water, and medical care, prompting calls for greater oversight and accountability in immigration enforcement practices.
The situation in Los Angeles remains tense, with ongoing protests and a heavy presence of National Guard troops. The federal government has indicated that additional military support, including the potential deployment of the Marine Corps, is on standby. As the crisis continues, the nation watches closely, with the outcome likely to influence future immigration policies and federal-state relations.
United States President Donald Trump has ordered federal crackdown on the “migrant riots” as protests and riots over federal immigration raids enter Day 4. After ordering deployment of National Guard troops across the city, Donald Trump has warned of mass deportations by “expelling” all illegal migrants.
In a post on Truth Social early on Monday, June 9, Donald Trump said Los Angeles was being “invaded and occupied” illegal “aliens”, announcing his latest move to put end to the riots and “liberate” the city from “migrant invasion”.
He said, “A once great American City, Los Angeles, has been invaded and occupied by Illegal Aliens and Criminals. Now violent, insurrectionist mobs are swarming and attacking our Federal Agents to try and stop our deportation operations.”
“I am directing Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and Attorney General Pam Bondi, in coordination with all other relevant Departments and Agencies, to take all such action necessary to liberate Los Angeles from the Migrant Invasion, and put an end to these Migrant riots.”
Donald trump said, “Order will be restored, the Illegals will be expelled, and Los Angeles will be set free. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
