Protests escalate in Los Angeles over Trump’s National Guard deployment amid immigration crackdown.
Thousands of protesters have clashed with authorities as they took to the streets of Los Angeles for a third night in response to United States President Donald Trump’s extraordinary deployment of the National Guard.
Sunday’s protests in Los Angeles, a sprawling city of 4 million people, were centred in several blocks of the city centre. It was the third and most intense day of demonstrations against Trump’s immigration crackdown in the region, as the arrival of about 300 National Guard troops spurred anger and fear among many residents.
The troops were deployed specifically to protect federal buildings, including the Metropolitan Detention Center where protesters concentrated.
