Following a week of protests against federal immigration raids, approximately 200 Marines arrived in Los Angeles on Friday to secure a federal building in the city. Meanwhile, communities nationwide are preparing for an expected wave of large-scale demonstrations against President Donald Trump’s policies this weekend.

Tensions in Los Angeles heightened on Sunday as thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in response to President Donald Trump’s unusual deployment of the National Guard. They blocked a major freeway and set self-driving cars ablaze, while law enforcement used tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash bangs to manage the crowd.

Trump's directive followed incidents in Paramount and nearby Compton, where a vehicle was set ablaze. Demonstrations continued into the night in Paramount, with several hundred protesters assembling near a doughnut shop, while authorities used barbed wire to maintain distance from the crowd.
