3 w. ago Will the public side with the protesters in LA? Here are some lessons from history | Musa al

Social movements have long included some form of direct conflict with authorities. The key is whom the public blames for clashesOn 6 June, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) conducted aggressive raids in Los Angeles, sweeping up gainfully employed workers with no criminal record. This led to demonstrations outside the Los Angeles federal building. During these protests, David Huerta, president of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) of California, was arrested alongside more than 100 others – leading to even larger demonstrations the next day.Donald Trump responded on 7 June by sending federal troops to Los Angeles to quell the protests without consulting Governor Gavin Newsom and, in fact, in defiance of Newsom’s wishes.

The raids have affected garment district workers, day laborers and restaurants, and agents also arrested the president of a major California union who was serving as a community observer during the raids.
