Violence and counterviolence erupt in the streets of Los Angeles – America’s second largest city. The nation is shaken—and the world watches as the U.S. teeters on the edge of crisis. Is this upheaval, or the brink of a civil war? Protests broke out last week after ICE immigration raids in Los Angeles led to the arrest and removal of dozens of people—labeled “undocumented immigrants.” President Trump has responded forcefully. Overriding California’s governor, he has deployed thousands of National Guard troops to LA—alongside 700 U.S. Marines, part of the nation’s regular armed forces. Shocked state officials and citizens accuse Trump of abusing power, calling his actions “dictatorial.” On To the Point the question is: Protests in Los Angeles: Is it Trump against the law?
