The Los Angeles Police Department issued a tactical alert Saturday afternoon amid ongoing protests over federal immigration enforcement operations.

Law enforcement has been pushing back Los Angeles protestors with 'less lethal' weapons. Now the National Guard is deployed and Marines are activated.

The deployment of LAPD officers and L.A. County sheriff's deputies in response to protests over federal immigration actions has led to several viral incidents and raised questions about the role of local law enforcement in quelling the unrest.

Louisiana's GOP-dominated Legislature passed a package of bills this week that were designed to aid in federal crackdowns on migrants suspected of entering the country illegally.

The bill would enable community raids, targeted removals and widespread detention camps that sweep up U.S. citizens and the undocumented alike.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) slammed President Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops in the city as a “chaotic escalation” amid rising tensions between law enforcement officers and protesters pushing back against federal immigration enforcement tactics.

Sen. Alex Padilla (D-California) was forcibly removed from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem’s Thursday afternoon news conference after he interrupted it.

Some incidents of journalists being shot with nonlethal bullets while covering protests in Los Angeles have been captured on camera.
