Anti-ICE Protests Are Erupting All Across The United States


Anti-ICE protests are spreading across the United States like wildfire.

As the anti-ICE riots have wreaked havoc in Los Angeles for the last five days, many other blue cities are seeing unruly protesters take to the streets too.

Demonstrations have popped up in New York City, Atlanta, Dallas, and other major cities.

NBC News covered the story more in-depth:

The protests that roiled Los Angeles over the weekend were set to spread Tuesday across the country, as activists planned demonstrations in New York, Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta and elsewhere.

Rallies protesting ICE raids and the government’s immigration policies have spread across California and beyond this week. A series of so-called No Kings demonstrations are planned nationwide for Saturday.

Some 56 people were arrested in L.A. over the weekend as some 700 marines and more than 2,000 National Guard troops were deployed by President Donald Trump in response to protests that began on Friday, sparking an extraordinary showdown with California Gov. Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, who strongly criticized the move as executive overreach.

The state of California is suing the Trump administration over the National Guard deployment, calling the move “unlawful.” A temporary restraining order was added to the lawsuit by California Attorney General Rob Bonta over the decision to federalize members of the National Guard and the Marines on the streets of Los Angeles.

“The President and Secretary (Pete) Hegseth have made clear — publicly and privately — that the Marines are not in Los Angeles to stand outside a federal building,” Bonta wrote in the filing. “They will work in active concert with law enforcement, in support of a law enforcement mission, and will physically interact with or detain civilians.”

Per Fox 5 Atlanta:

Protests over immigration raids have spread to Atlanta as activists stand in solidarity with the massive rallies in California.

A small group of protesters showed up outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Field Office in downtown Atlanta on Monday.

The group called for an end to ICE raids and the release of California union leader David Huerta. Huerta, who was charged with conspiring to impede an officer during an anti-ICE protest in Los Angeles on Friday, was later released on bond.
