Mayors Unite Against Immigration Raids Amid LA Protests

Dozens of mayors from the Los Angeles region gathered Wednesday to demand an end to the Trump administration's intensified immigration raids, which have caused fear and protests across the country. Despite local leaders' outcry, there is little indication that President Donald Trump will cease these operations.

Approximately 500 National Guard troops, deployed during LA protests, have been trained to assist in immigration operations, according to commanding officials. While some involvement in these missions has occurred, it's unclear if this cooperation will persist once protests subside.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and other officials criticized the use of military forces in immigration raids, warning of heightened fear and chaos. As protests extend beyond LA to cities like New York and Chicago, state and local leaders continue to grapple with the consequences of federal immigration policies.
