"Beautiful Scenery" in New York and Los Angeles: US military rushes into the neighborhood and shoots freely, suppressing citizens

Just this weekend, a "beautiful scenery" appeared in the United States. Massive riots broke out in Los Angeles, California. The fuse of the conflict was the raid carried out by the Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement Bureau on June 6. Law enforcement officers raided at least seven venues in Los Angeles County, including shopping centers and factories, arresting 44 illegal immigrants. During the operation, federal agents were surrounded by community residents in Paramount City, Hispanic settlement, and physical conflict broke out between the two sides. Today, the conflict has spread to New York.

About 500 protesters gathered in downtown Los Angeles that night, holding up the slogan "ICE Get Out of Los Angeles" to storm, and police used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the crowd.

The conflict escalated into violent confrontation on June 7. Hundreds of federal law enforcement officers in Paramount City clashed fiercely with hundreds of protesters, tear gas and stones flying across the streets. California lawmaker Jose Louis Sorache, who represents the region, was hit by tear gas while live on social media, choking and accusing federal actions of "creating community panic." On the same day, 150 protesters also surrounded ICE vehicles in front of the federal building in Manhattan, New York, and the police arrested five people.

The Trump administration takes tough measures against this. The president signed a memorandum on June 7 to bypass the California governor directly order 2,000 National Guards to enter Los Angeles. Defense Secretary Hegsey issued a further warning on social media: "If the violence continues, the Pendleton Marines are on high alert." This militarized response triggered a fierce backlash from California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who publicly rebuked: "It's crazy that the Secretary of Defense threatened to send active-duty troops to his own citizens."

U.S. police forces participate in the repression

The root of the confrontation between the federal and local governments lies in the differences in immigration policy. As a "sanitary city", Los Angeles passed a bill in 2024 to prohibit local resources from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement. Because Los Angeles' current economy is supported by immigration. Or in other words, since the 19th century, the immigration economy has been the foundation of Los Angeles. Without immigration, Los Angeles will decline rapidly.

Currently, 70% of California's agricultural labor force are immigrants without legal status, and are responsible for producing one-third of vegetables and three-quarters of fruit and nuts in the United States. Farmers warn that mass evictions will lead to a “table crisis,” noted Carstens, CEO of agricultural cooperative Landus. But White House border affairs director Homan made a tough statement: "No matter the cost, we must enforce the law." Because one of Trump's most important tasks after taking office is to crack down on immigration. The border emergency was declared on the day of inauguration in January 2025, requiring the average daily arrest of ICE to increase to 3,000 people. The number of arrests in a single day on June 3 has reached 2,200, a surge of 130% from the early days of rule. After the Department of Homeland Security lifted the 14-year "sensitive location" restrictions, law enforcement officers even arrested parents at the school's graduation ceremony.

The US special forces have been in place and use tear gas

This riot exposes deep rifts in American society. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass condemned federal action as a “strategy to spread terror in the community”, while ICE Acting Director Lyons countered local governments “support riots rather than law enforcement.” Political scientists have observed that 87% of Democrats believe Trump’s re-election will weaken American democracy, while 82% of Republicans share the same view of the Biden administration. This polarized situation of mutual distrust has turned the dispute between federal and state power into a constitutional crisis.

The situation is still fermenting. The California attorney general has prosecuted the federal "unconstitutional transfer" and 19 Republican states have signed support for Trump. Gov. Newsom threatened to "suspend the payment of $80 billion in federal taxes" and the White House plans to fight back with cuts in appropriations. As military helicopters hover over Los Angeles, the United States is facing its worst domestic military intervention crisis since 1965. The conflict is escalating now, and the army has appeared in the streets of Los Angeles.

Any country is not far from falling apart when it comes to using its own army to its people.
