After a day of peaceful protests in Los Angeles, tensions mounted as law enforcement moved to disperse the crowd.

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

Protesters across the country took to the streets for ‘No Kings’ demonstrations against President Trump. ICE raided a swap meet in Santa Fe Springs and police fired tear gas and rubber bullets into the crowd in downtown L.

President Trump has said the city would be burning without military intervention, but the protests have been confined to a relatively small area.

6:30 p.m.: More than 100 people gathered at the immigration services building and detention center in downtown Los Angeles to protest the raids. DHS officers fired pepper balls at the protesters before the Los Angeles Police Department dispersed the crowd.

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.

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

Customs and Border Patrol confirmed it is providing "aerial support" to law enforcement efforts during the protests.
