Protests Spread from Los Angeles Across the U.S., Car Crashes into Demonstrators

The Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration has sparked protests in more than 10 cities, including Los Angeles, California. In Chicago, demonstrators attempted to breach police barricades, resulting in clashes with riot police and multiple arrests. During the chaos, a car suddenly sped into the crowd, causing panic and injuring at least one person.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the vehicle was initially trapped between police cars. Officers attempted to redirect the driver, but the driver violated orders and sped away. Police have not yet released the driver's identity or whether charges will be filed.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass declared a local state of emergency on the 10th, imposing a nighttime curfew in parts of the city. Mounted police forcibly removed demonstrators, and officers seized a Mexican flag from a protest vehicle while a large number of police cars blocked city bridges and roads.
The U.S. Northern Command reported that 1,700 National Guard troops are currently stationed in Los Angeles. The Pentagon announced it would send additional National Guard and Marine Corps to the city, with an estimated cost to taxpayers of about $134 million (approximately NTD 4.3 billion). Yahoo News stated that this marks the first time in 60 years that a president has deployed the National Guard without state consent, the last occurrence being in 1965 when President Lyndon Johnson sent troops to protect civil rights marches in Alabama.
California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized Trump's actions as “illegal, immoral, and unconstitutional,” emphasizing that “the national red line has been crossed.”
