Protests over immigration raids pop up across the U.S. with more planned

Protests against immigration raids have surged across the U. S. , with significant events occurring in cities like Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Seattle. Activists plan larger demonstrations, including “No Kings” events, to coincide with President Trump's military parade. In Philadelphia, around 150 protesters clashed with police, leading to 15 arrests, including one for aggravated assault on an officer.

San Francisco's protests involved over 200 demonstrators, resulting in more than 150 arrests amid outbreaks of violence. Seattle's gathering featured about 50 attendees who expressed solidarity with Los Angeles protesters, advocating for the abolition of ICE. Legal advocates faced restrictions at the immigration court, as security barred them from entering. Despite the escalating demonstrations, the Trump administration maintains its commitment to immigration enforcement. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem emphasized that ICE will continue to enforce the law.
