HOW WE GOT HERE: The protests erupted after Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers on Friday carried out raids in three locations across L.A., where dozens of people were taken into custody. Newsom called the raids “chaotic federal sweeps” that aimed to fill an “arbitrary arrest quota.”

Authorities swept in with flash-bangs and tear gas grenades to disperse hundreds of protesters in Los Angeles.

State AG Rob Bonta called the federal government's order "unlawful" and "unprecedented" as anti-ICE raid demonstrations emerged in Los Angeles.
