B: Just hanging out. What's new with you?
A: I heard some big news, buddy! There are protests going on in Los Angeles against ICE raids, and they've even imposed a curfew in a city in Washington State!
B: Wow, that sounds intense! Can you tell me more about it?
A: Of course! So, on Wednesday, ICE agents conducted workplace raids looking for undocumented immigrants. The protests around federal government buildings in downtown LA haven't stopped.
B: That must be quite a sight to see. Has the president said anything about this?
A: Yeah, President Trump ordered 4,000 National Guard troops to be deployed to the Greater Los Angeles area, and they've already arrived! Around 700 Marines are expected to join them soon.
B: Whoa, that sounds like a lot of people. Is everyone okay with this?
A: Not really. California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass have criticized the deployment, saying it's only making tensions worse.
B: I see. Well, there are also protests in Spokane, Washington, because of the immigration raids, and more than 30 people were arrested!
A: That's right! The mayor of Spokane declared a state of emergency and imposed a curfew in certain parts of the city. It's a pretty chaotic situation all around.
