  • Finneas, singer-songwriter and brother of Billie Eilish, claimed he was tear-gassed by the National Guard at a protest in Downtown Los Angeles against immigration raids.
  • The protests were sparked after ICE officers conducted raids at multiple locations, including a clothing warehouse in the Fashion District, leading to arrests and attempts by crowds to block ICE agents.
  • Another protest occurred outside a federal building in downtown LA after demonstrators alleged detainees were being held in the basement.
  • President Donald Trump deployed at least 2,000 National Guard troops to LA, criticizing Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass for not handling the situation effectively.
  • Governor Newsom condemned Trump's deployment of the National Guard as inflammatory and announced that California would sue the Trump administration, accusing Trump of illegally federalizing the National Guard.
