Meanwhile, actress Eva Longoria has been vocal about her disgust with Trump's policies, reposting a scathing tweet from California Governor Gavin Newsom, who blasted Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for his threat to deploy active-duty marines into the area. Longoria, known for her outspoken views on social issues, even shared a video of singer Gloria Estefan talking about the issue and a clip of a mother being separated from her child due to the raid.

Newsom's tweet read: "Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's vows to deploy active-duty Marines into Los Angeles is degranged behavior – it's Un-American." Longoria added her own commentary, slamming Trump's actions as "depraved."

Chrissy Teigen Weighs In With a Side of Sarcasm

Sports Illustrated swimsuit alum Chrissy Teigen shared a series of Instagram posts expressing her outrage over the raids and the allocation of resources towards them. The 34-year-old star even questioned why more wasn't being done to help those in need.

"Is it too much to ask for a President who doesn't prioritize deporting innocent people over feeding the hungry?" she mused. Teigen also shared an 'I [love] LA' logo, linking to an event called the No Kings mass protest on June 14.

A Complicated History of Activism

Teigen has had a complicated history with activism – emerging as a prominent voice of opposition to Trump in his first term, but facing criticism for her own past actions. In 2011, it was revealed that she had repeatedly encouraged then-teen Courtney Stodden to take her own life.

Violence Erupts on the Streets

The weekend saw numerous flashpoints of violence in Southern California as tensions boiled over between protesters and immigration officials. A skirmish broke out near a Home Depot in Paramount, with authorities deploying tear gas, pepper balls, and explosives against protesters who fought back with rocks and cement.

A Timeline of Chaos

The West Coast has seen some of its most chaotic times since the riots following the Rodney King case verdicts in April 1992. Immigration authorities conducted sweeps near the Home Depot and in the fashion district section of Los Angeles, arresting over 100 immigrants on Trump's order.

Among those taken into custody was a union leader accused of impeding law-enforcement as he protested ICE's actions. The White House defended Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard, stating that it would not hesitate to use them "to address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester."

Newsom fired back at Trump, calling his words "purposefully inflammatory." "It's Un-American to promise violence and deployment of active-duty troops against American citizens exercising their First Amendment rights," he tweeted.
