The Trump administration has deployed the California National Guard in response to protests in Los Angeles that began Friday evening over immigration enforcement operations, which resulted in some clashes between demonstrators and authorities,

LA Police have said in a post on X that California Highway Patrol officers are attempting to disperse the demonstrators off the southbound section of the freeway. California Governor Gavin Newsom says he has "formally requested the Trump administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops in Los Angeles county and return them to my command".

Tear gas was used against protesters outside a federal detention centre in Los Angeles on Sunday, creating a tense moment during an otherwise largely peaceful day of immigration raid demonstrations.

Law enforcement has launched pepper balls, spray, and tear gas into the crowd outside of the Metropolitan Detention Center to disperse protestors, who have been clashing with National Guard, ICE and DHS agents outside of the detention center in Los Angeles.
