Federal Agents Clash With Protesters Over Immigration Crackdown
U.S. President Donald Trump ordered 2,000 troops to Los Angeles on Saturday amid escalating tensions over immigration raids, sparking fiery protests and accusations of political provocation. The move came as federal agents clashed with demonstrators in Paramount, a suburb of LA, using flash-bang grenades and tear gas to disperse crowds near a Home Depot staging area. 🛑🔥

Protesters blocked a freeway and faced off against gas-masked agents, with videos circulating online showing chaotic scenes reminiscent of a dystopian thriller. California Governor Gavin Newsom slammed the troop deployment as "purposefully inflammatory," while activists decried the raids targeting undocumented migrants.
