Los Angeles is bracing for a fourth straight day of protests against recent immigration raids, with tensions already running high after a weekend of clashes. Demonstrators are rallying to demand the release of David Huerta, a union leader arrested during the unrest. The ACLU has vowed to keep pushing back, declaring, "We will not be silenced." Meanwhile, the Trump administration's deployment of National Guard troops has only fueled the anger on the streets.
Editor’s Note: This isn't just another protest—it's a boiling point in the ongoing battle over immigration policy. With a prominent union leader detained and federal troops involved, the stakes feel higher than usual. The ACLU's involvement signals a legal fight brewing, and the prolonged unrest shows how deeply this issue divides the country. For Angelenos, it’s another flashpoint in a city that’s long been a battleground for immigrant rights.
