National Guard Sent Into Los Angeles as Thousands Hit the Streets Against ICE; SEIU President David Huerta Injured and Arrested

The Trump administration has federalized and sent in hundreds of National Guard soldiers to Los Angeles, CA, following ongoing popular protests against a series of violent ICE raids on June 6th and 7th which detained and imprisoned multiple workers from various job sites in military style operations.

This is the first time since the LA rebellion in 1992 that the US government has federalized National Guard troops against the domestic population, however the National Guard have been used by both Democratic and Republican governments in the recent past to target popular social movements, such as at Standing Rock and during the George Floyd Rebellion in the summer of 2020.
