Tensions explode in Los Angeles as anti-ICE protesters flood the streets in defiance of federal immigration crackdowns. CNN are also covering this documentary-style video captures the chaos, riots and emotion as communities rise up against the Trump-era immigration policies that shook California to its core. Nick Shirley, Channel 5 News With Andrew and vice news
Under President Donald Trump’s administration, ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) ramped up raids across California, targeting undocumented immigrants and causing fear throughout Hispanic and immigrant neighborhoods. California – home to millions of immigrants – became a frontline in the national immigration debate, with cities like L.A. declaring themselves sanctuaries in open rebellion.
We go inside the protests, speak with undocumented families, activists, and local organizers who have taken over key parts of the city in resistance. What happens when a city stands up to the federal government? Has Los Angeles become a no-go zone for ICE?
