President Donald Trump has called for 2,000 US National Guard troops to be deployed to Los Angeles where protests against immigration raids have escalated.
His decision to summon the National Guard overruled the authority of California Governor Gavin Newsom, who called the move "purposefully inflammatory".
At least 118 immigrants were arrested in operations across the city over the past week, which led to tense scenes as crowds gathered outside businesses thought to be raided.
The LA County Sheriffs Department said crowds "became increasingly agitated, throwing objects and exhibiting violent behaviour", prompting police to use tear gas and stun grenades.
Governor Newsom, along with the LA mayor and a California congresswoman said in separate comments they believed local police could handle the protests. Twenty-nine people were arrested, according to local officials.
