Anti-ICE protests continue in Los Angeles after the National Guard was deployed following immigration enforcement actions.

The Pentagon’s deployment of about 700 Marines to Los Angeles to help the National Guard respond to immigration protests follows weeks of rapid developments in President Donald Trump’s signature domestic priority for mass deportations.

Large crowds gathered near a federal detention center in downtown Los Angeles Friday protesting immigration raids that had taken place throughout the city.

The Trump administration faces a legal challenge to its deployment of the military to protests. Tensions flared after President Trump sent troops, and protests spread to other U.S. cities.

Demonstrations in McAllen, Midland, Odessa, Austin and elsewhere in Texas were largely peaceful, as some protests went well into the night.

Protesters across the country took to the streets for ‘No Kings’ demonstrations against President Trump. ICE raided a swap meet in Santa Fe Springs and police fired tear gas and rubber bullets into the crowd in downtown L.

As the military presence ramped up in Los Angeles, communities are preparing for the largest protests against Trump since he took office.

The development comes a day after an appeals court temporarily blocked a judge’s order that directed President Trump to return control of the California National Guard.
