In the days before protests erupted in Los Angeles, the Trump administration stepped up its efforts to detain migrants — taking into custody those who arrived for routine check-ins while also conducting workplace raids that have sent waves of fear across Southern California and beyond.

Los Angeles endured a sixth day of protests that have been largely peaceful but occasionally punctuated by violence.

The National Guard in Los Angeles has detained anti-ICE protesters while providing security for immigration operations, with officials expecting protests to escalate.

The power of the US military will be sharply on display this weekend – on two different coasts and in two very different ways.

The troops are authorized to detain people who pose a threat to federal personnel or property, but only until police can arrest them.

The protest comes before leaders vote on whether or not to pass a budget that is expected to lock new undocumented immigrants out of Medi-Cal.

Protests over President Trump's immigration enforcement raids and his mobilization of the Marines and National Guard in Los Angeles have spread to other major U.S. cities.

Some vehicles thought be those of agents were spray-painted with expletives, as were some exterior walls of the Whittier hotel.
