Starting lock in Los Angeles: Trump's politics sparked protests!

Los Angeles, USA - in Los Angeles there are currently intensive protests against the migration policy of US President Donald Trump. In response to the continuing riots, the city has extended an outcome lock by one night. For several days, people have gathered to express their displeasure with the stricter measures of immigration policy. Accompanying the protests, there were also arrests in Denver, who indicate the growing dissatisfaction with Trump's politics, which many perceive as draconian

Donald Trump returned to the presidential office in January 2025 and leads his second term with a clear focus on domestic politics. During this time, he not only radically changed migration policy, but also introduced a number of political measures that ensure uncertainty and concern in society. Experts observe with concern how his rigid customs policy leads to continuing inflation and the cost of living for many Americans.

Trump's migration policy in focus

At the forefront is the tightening of immigration policy, which Trump considers as a central concern. He reactivated the "Remain in Mexico" program and advanced the expansion of the border wall. In addition, Trump proclaimed an emergency on the border with Mexico and reinforced the use of the military for border security. The US Border Protection Authority ICE reports that illegal border crossings have decreased by 90 percent. However, politicians criticize that Trump's measures spread primarily a climate of fear among migrants, which further increases social polarization.

Trump signed 139 decrees in the first 100 days of his second term, with the massive implementation of arrests and deportations of migrants without a residence permit. According to reports, almost 2400 migrants were arrested in the first week of his mandate. In addition, Trump plans to deport "millions" of irregular migrants, a strategy that is also considered internationally and is sometimes perceived as brutal.

public perception and criticism

The social and economic situation of the United States is tense. Only 11 percent of the Americans feel better for economically, and public approval for Trump is currently around 39 percent, which corresponds to a decrease of 11 percentage points since the election. Young voters and Hispanic Americans in particular are becoming increasingly disappointed with Trump's politics.

The "America First" promised by Trump has led to a dramatic change of course in US politics, but at the expense of stability from the markets that suffer from the so-called "Trump-Dump". Critics warn of long -term damage to the economy and the rule of law. The President also made cuts in educational policy and thus created another battleground, while funding for artificial intelligence and vocational training are also being promoted.

Despite the unsuspecting spread of Trump's politics, there is resistance, especially in democratically ruled states that turn against the state immigration guidelines. These tensions reflect the deep cracks that Trump's politics leaves in American society, as well as strain on international relationships, for example due to the controversy with Colombia about returns from migrants.

The current protests in Los Angeles are therefore not only a reaction to the current migration policy, but also an expression of deeper dissatisfaction with the social and economic framework in the USA. These developments show that the pursuit of a fresh start under Trump is far from a positive turn for many Americans.
