A man’s body has been uncovered in Los Angeles near where rioters looted businesses as protests over Donald Trump’s ICE raids rage on.

Cops discovered the unresponsive man at around 1:30 am on Tuesday morning.

A chilling video captured cops standing over the man as he lay on his back wearing a red sweatshirt, KTLA reported.

Officials brought over a canopy to cover the man and later confirmed that he was dead, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to the outlet.

Detectives are investigating the death and are looking into whether it’s related to any protests or looting.

The man was found at an intersection near a T-Mobile store that criminals raided after the protests broke out.

Tensions are mounting in the City of Angels as thousands of National Guard troops clash with furious crowds protesting Trump’s immigration crackdown.

California Governor Gavin Newsom continues to spar with Trump after the president sent federal soldiers without his permission.

Newsom claims that the protests were peaceful until Trump “instigated violence,” he wrote on X.

“Don’t give him the excuse he’s looking for,” fumed the governor on social media.

Meanwhile, Trump has defended his decision as he battles a lawsuit filed by California that accuses him of breaking the 10th Amendment.

The president insisted that Los Angeles would have “burned to the ground” if he and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth hadn’t sent the troops.

“Call your incompetent governor and mayor, the federal permitting is done,” blasted Trump on Truth Social.

PROTEST DAMAGE

Waymo self-driving cars have been burned to a crisp, rioters have chucked rocks at cops, and protesters have been hit with rubber bullets since the city-wide chaos unfolded.

At one point, a CNN reporter was detained live on-air and led away with his hands behind his back as cops cuffed protesters for failing to disperse on Monday night.

So far, Trump has sent 4,000 National Guard troops to the city and deployed 700 Marines from a base about two hours outside the city.

While Newsom insists that the city doesn’t need additional help, the LAPD admitted they’re overwhelmed by the unrest.

LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell called some of the crime “disgusting” and said that protests have gotten “increasingly worse and more violent,” according to KNBC.

“We are overwhelmed,” he said on Sunday.

“Tonight, we had individuals out there shooting commercial-grade fireworks at our officers. That can kill you.”

Meanwhile, California’s governor said Trump’s crackdown “isn’t about public safety. It’s about stroking a dangerous president’s ego.

“This is reckless. Pointless. And disrespectful to our troops.”
