Cops use tear gas to disperse anti-Trump crowd in Los Angeles - Day of action comes after week-long protests in Los Angeles against Trump’s hard-line immigration policies and ICE raids on immigrants

Thousands of “No Kings” protests are taking place on Saturday across the United States, with dozens of demonstrations planned in Southern California. The “No Kings” movement started in opposition of policies being instituted by President Donald Trump and his administration.

Tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered in Los Angeles and throughout the Southland Saturday to protest the policies of the Trump administration in the nationwide "No Kings Day of Defiance" demonstrations.

Coordinated "No Kings" protests are happening from coast to coast, part of a "national day of peaceful protest" against the Trump administration, expected to draw millions. Protesters in some areas braved wet weather to raise signs and chant slogans supporting the rights of immigrants and criticizing what they see as Trump's power grab.

President Donald Trump called protesters in Los Angeles “animals” and “a foreign enemy” in a speech at Fort Bragg as he defended deploying the military on those protesting his immigration enforcement.

President Donald Trump's National Guard deployment in Los Angeles ignites political debate as Republicans blame sanctuary policies for riots, while Democrats accuse Trump of creating chaos during ICE operations.

Trump ordered California National Guard troops to Los Angeles in response to violent demonstrations against immigration enforcement.

It is believed to be the first such detention since soldiers were deployed to the area. The post U.S. Marines Detain Civilian in Los Angeles in First Known Detention by Active-Duty Soldiers first appeared on Mediaite.
