Trump speaks of invasion: escalate protests in Los Angeles!

Los Angeles, USA - in Los Angeles, the protests against President Donald Trump's immigration policy have further intensified. On June 11, 2025, Trump described the protesters in front of soldiers at the Fort Bragg military base as "animals" and spoke of an "invasion" from abroad. He denounced the demonstrations as a direct attack on peace, public order and national sovereignty. According to him, the protesting foreign flags waved the goal of continuing an invasion of the United States. This anarchy is unacceptable, says Trump, who also connected the activists with uncontrolled migration and asked Europe to finally act. According to FAZ , the president stated that uncontrolled migration to chaos and disorder also in many European countries leads.

The protests in Los Angeles that started a few days ago are directed against Trump's strict immigration policy. Despite the resistance of the Californian governor Gavin Newsom, who sees the use of the National Guard as inappropriate, Trump sent a federal military to California. The New York Times reports of an escalation of the situation when Trump mobilized Marines and additional National Guard forces to protect federal authorities and ownership. As a result, the city experienced clashes between the police and the demonstrators, which led to about 150 arrest and numerous injuries.

Distribution of protests

However, the protests are not limited to Los Angeles. You have now extended to other cities such as San Francisco, New York, Santa Ana, Austin, Dallas, Atlanta and Louisville. In San Francisco, for example, "thousands" people gathered, while in New York a number of citizens protested in the lobby of the Trump Tower and chanted the slogan "Bring them back" in relation to the deportation measures. The organization ICE (Immigrations and Customs Enforcement) carries out increased operations as part of a new strategy, which caused the arrests of dozens of illegal immigrants. This was the decisive factor for the protests, some of which were violent, since the police were doing against the demonstrators with rubber sheds, reported T-Online .

In this tense situation, California's Governor Newsom announced that it would take legal action against the Trump administration. He criticized the circumstances for the National Gardists on site, who allegedly had to do without food and water. Mayor Karen Bass from Los Angeles described the intervention of the federal authorities as a dangerous precedent and warned of the serious consequences of such a procedure. While Trump and Vice President JD Vance announce a hard passage against the "lawless" protests, the number of demonstrators and resistance to political measures is growing. These events once again show how strongly the political fronts are polarized in the USA.
