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

Trump claims the troops are quelling protests. But California officials fear their real mission is bigger: militarizing mass deportation.

A revered California labor leader arrested for his involvement in protests decrying immigration raids in Los Angeles is out on bond, after demonstrators came out nationwide Monday to demand his release.

The National Guard has at times detained protesters in its deployment to Los Angeles, an official said Wednesday, as demonstrations against Immigration and Customs enforcement raids spread to other major cities.

The U.S. government has deployed National Guard and Marines in the city where police have used rubber bullets and tear gas — a repeat of June 2013 scenes that flared in Rio de Janeiro three years before the Brazilian city hosted the Olympics.

As protests continue in Los Angeles, hundreds of U.S. Marines have been deployed to the city as President Donald Trump and Governor Gavin Newsom spar over law enforcement response.

As the Pentagon crafts rules of engagement for Marines deployed to an American city, it's clear that the president is playing with fire.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said President Donald Trump is “pulling a military dragnet” across Los Angeles during a brief public address on Tuesday

California demandó a la administración Trump por desplegar la Guardia Nacional del estado en Los Ángeles para sofocar los disturbios motivados por las redadas migratorias ordenadas por el presidente.

At least 14 people are facing federal charges tied to L.A. immigration protests as more demonstrations pop up around the U.S. Also, a Republican senator is threatening to investigate local immigrant advocates.
