Federal agents led by Homeland Security Investigations raided a Westlake Home Depot and a Fashion District clothing wholesaler on 6 June 2025, arresting workers and SEIU California president David Huerta and setting off the protests that brought troops to Los Angeles.

President Trump invoked 10 U.S.C. 12406 to call at least 2,000 California National Guard members into federal service for 60 days, over Governor Newsom's objection, to protect ICE agents and federal buildings during the Los Angeles protests.

Declaring a local emergency after 23 businesses were looted, Mayor Karen Bass ordered an 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew across roughly a square mile of downtown Los Angeles, bounded by the 5, 10 and 110 freeways, and lifted it a week later.

US District Judge Charles Breyer granted California a temporary restraining order finding the federalization of the state's National Guard illegal and ordering control returned to Governor Newsom, a ruling the Ninth Circuit paused within hours.
