Escalating Protests Over ICE Raids Grip U.S. Cities

Massive protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids have intensified across American cities since June 6.President Trump deployed 2,000 National Guard troops to California without Governor Newsom's request—the first such action since 1965.

Protests have spread to San Francisco, New York, Washington D.C., and Austin, with activists planning 1,800 nationwide demonstrations on June 14. The conflict highlights deep political divisions: Democratic leaders condemn Trump’s tactics, while Republicans defend the crackdown on illegal immigration.
