Nationwide Protests Intensify Over Immigration Raids

Nationwide protests have intensified over federal immigration raids, with major demonstrations unfolding in cities including Los Angeles, New York, and Raleigh. In Manhattan, protests have continued for a third night with fewer arrests and clashes, as the NYPD maintains control without federal intervention. Downtown Los Angeles remains under curfew, and 700 Marines along with thousands of National Guard troops are being deployed to support local authorities amid ongoing unrest. In Raleigh, thousands have marched to oppose both federal and proposed state immigration measures. The human impact of enforcement is highlighted by cases such as Hector, whose wife and daughters were detained during a routine immigration appointment. Community vigils, prayer gatherings, and solidarity marches continue across the country in response to concerns over the treatment of immigrants and the scale of federal enforcement.
