Amid a nationwide day of protest and following days of unrest in downtown Los Angeles, multiple simultaneous gatherings are expected to take place across Southern California on Saturday.

A new poll shows a partisan split on President Donald Trump's troop deployment to quell Los Angeles protests, with 86% of Republicans supporting while Democrats strongly oppose it.

The protesters gathered in downtown L.A. are a microcosm of the Democratic coalition that has dominated the city for decades.

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

U.S. President Donald Trump can keep his deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles, according to a court ruling, as protests against immigration raids look set to enter their second week in the strongest backlash since his return to power in January.

The development comes a day after an appeals court temporarily blocked a judge’s order that directed President Trump to return control of the California National Guard.

Police arrested more than 20 people, mostly on curfew violations, on the first night of restrictions in downtown Los Angeles.

It's been five days since anti-ICE demonstrations erupted in Los Angeles, some turning violent between protesters and law enforcement officers, prompting President Trump to deploy National Guard troops and hundreds of Marines.
