Protests erupted in Los Angeles, marked by scuffles and torched cars, following federal immigration raids and President Trump's controversial deployment of National Guard troops.
California Governor Gavin Newsom and Democrats condemned Trump's troop deployment as a "breach of state sovereignty" and an escalation, arguing it inflamed tensions.
Demonstrators viewed the National Guard presence as an "intimidation tactic" against their right to protest, expressing anger over the arrests of migrants and Trump's perceived agenda.
Trump defended the deployment, hinting at broader military involvement to enforce "law and order" against what he termed "violent people."

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
