Protests in LA — which have inspired protests in other major cities across the country — have escalated in response to President Donald Trump’s immigration policies and ICE raids.

Demonstrators hit the streets again in L.A. after President Trump deployed the National Guard due to protests against ICE raids.

Thousands of demonstrators chanted “ICE out of L.A.” amid protests against immigration raids. A California challenge to Trump’s L.A. military deployment moves to a courtroom Thursday.

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

At 4 p.m. as protesters were gathering, a counterprotester came to the scene — prompting angry chants to erupt from the main protest.

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

Protests against immigration officers are spreading beyond Los Angeles. Trump’s immigrant crackdown now includes ICE workplace quotas. Republicans are increasingly split over the deficit impact of Trump’s bill.

With migrant communities already living in fear amid the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, ICE raids in downtown Los Angeles sparked days of protests.

From coast to coast, demonstrators are protesting President Trump's immigration crackdown. NBC News' David Noriega and Julia Ainsley report more. Former ICE Chief of Staff Jason Houser joins Ana Cabrera to react to Marines and National Guard troops being deployed to monitor the protests.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass issued a curfew for parts of downtown as anti-ICE demonstrations continued for a fifth consecutive day, some of which have turned violent between protesters and law enforcement.
