ICE Raids Spark Protest Riot - LA

A masked protester waves a Mexican flag as law enforcement officers line the street in Los Angeles, California, on June 8, 2025. Following a series of aggressive federal immigration operations in Los Angeles, tensions escalated when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents conducted a high-profile raid on a Home Depot location.
