Los Angeles, June 2025.

Following a series of ICE raids across the city, thousands took to the streets in protest.

What began as a peaceful call for dignity and justice escalated into a militarized crackdown, with federal troops deployed against local demonstrators. Over several days, I documented moments of defiance, vulnerability, and collective power—on the ground, in the smoke, and face to face with riot lines.

This series captures the tension, the humanity, and the urgency of a city pushed to the edge.
