Hey there! Have you heard about the protests happening in Los Angeles? 😊 Let’s break down what’s going on.
Recently, many people gathered in downtown LA to express their feelings about some events. The Los Angeles Police Department declared all of downtown an “unlawful assembly” one Sunday night. This means they wanted people to leave the area because things were getting a bit too intense.
So, why were people protesting? It all started because of some actions by a group called Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE for short. Beginning on June 6, ICE conducted raids across Southern California, which led to over 100 people being arrested. Many families were affected by this, and people wanted to speak out.
Some of the protesters clashed with the National Guard troops. The National Guard is a part of the military that can be called to help keep peace during big events or emergencies. These clashes can happen when emotions are high, but it’s important to remember that everyone wants safety and fairness.
It’s okay to have questions about these events. Talking with your family, teachers, or friends can help you understand more about why people protest and how communities can work together to solve problems.
