A cloud of uncertainty is hanging over Los Angeles, where questions remain over the role that Marines and National Guard troops will play after being called in by President Donald Trump amid protests over immigration raids in the city.
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.
Protests in Los Angeles appeared to quiet overnight, but new ones are popping up in other cities. Trump has deployed more than 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to the protests.
Protests surrounding immigration enforcement actions in the Los Angeles area and the Trump administration's response to them have cued up a public spat between President Trump and Gov. Newsom.
The people of Los Angeles and surrounding areas have taken a courageous stand against Trump’s reign of terror targeting immigrant families,” according to organizers in a social media post about the planned protest.
