In the days before protests erupted in Los Angeles, the Trump administration stepped up its efforts to detain migrants — taking into custody those who arrived for routine check-ins while also conducting workplace raids that have sent waves of fear across Southern California and beyond.

Demonstrators hit the streets again in L.A. after President Trump deployed the National Guard due to protests against ICE raids.

By late morning it was clear, June 6 was no ordinary Friday in LA. Federal agents arrested people in and around downtown Los Angeles. Some day laborers near a Home Depot in Westlake, others working in the Fashion District at Ambience apparel.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — About 200 Marines have moved into Los Angeles and will protect federal property, personnel, the commander in charge says. Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman, commander of Task Force 51 who is overseeing the 4,700 troops deployed, said Friday that the Marines have finished training on civil disturbance.

The outburst of public dissent occurred over the weekend after ICE began raids across Los Angeles. ICE said on Saturday that its “operations in LA this week” had resulted in 118 arrests of immigrants in Southern California.

On this week's episode of 'The Daily Show,' Jon Stewart covered the ongoing ICE protest in Los Angeles, labeling L.A. as 'our most flammable city.'

Trump slammed Gov. Gavin Newsom, who previously called Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to California “deranged.”
