On June 10, protesters against the US migration policy shared their attitude to what is happening in Los Angeles, California.

"Everything is changing very quickly, and it feels like the National Guard, and now the Marines, are targeting the civilian population of Los Angeles. The administration is trying to make it look like there is an uprising in the city or as if it has been captured," one of the activists of the movement with a poster in her hands told Izvestia correspondent Nikolai Masterov.

California citizens have different attitudes towards the protest. Some believe that they peacefully advocate for family and human rights, while others do not characterize this movement as peaceful.

"Look at the recent so-called peaceful protests. They don't touch anyone. And when we blacks protest, it's a riot, and we get beaten to a pulp," said a protest activist wearing a T—shirt with an image of US President Donald Trump.

Despite the fact that the protests take place more calmly during the day, the situation may change in the evening. During the lull, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers arrive to detain particularly active protesters.

Mass protests in California began on June 8 after a police raid to identify illegal migrants, during which 45 people were detained. Trump ordered the National Guard to be sent to the state to stop the riots, which was condemned by the governors of 22 states, regarding it as an "abuse of power."

A source from Izvestia reported on June 10 that protesters began throwing fireworks at police officers, as well as committing acts of robbery and breaking into establishments.
