Cops use tear gas to disperse anti-Trump crowd in Los Angeles - Day of action comes after week-long protests in Los Angeles against Trump’s hard-line immigration policies and ICE raids on immigrants

Democratic leaders are sensing political danger.Protests against the Trump administration, which are set to continue this weekend after a week of uprising that spread from Los Angeles across the country,

With protests blanketing the United States over the immigration crackdown — which is to say nothing of “No Kings Day” on Saturday — boxer Ryan Garcia couldn’t sit back anymore as Los Angeles, his home, has been wracked with ICE raids, protests and upheaval.

The protests, known as the No Kings Nationwide Day of Defiance, are a response to what the organisers describe as a shift towards authoritarianism and the militarisation of democracy. They are expected to be the largest since Donald Trump began his second term in the White House.

President Trump ordered National Guard troops to the area after clashes over immigration-enforcement operations.

It comes amid protests in Los Angeles after Trump authorized the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to the city.

While the president contends that the L.A. protests against his immigration policy have been chaotic, the scenes are not as violent.

President Donald Trump is thanking an appeals court for freezing an order that he return control of National Guard troops to California.
