It's been five days since anti-ICE demonstrations erupted in Los Angeles, some turning violent between protesters and law enforcement officers, prompting President Trump to deploy National Guard troops and hundreds of Marines.

Protests erupted across the U.S. earlier this week, in response to the raids against undocumented immigrants in Los Angeles. At times, the demonstrations took a violent turn as self-driving Waymo taxis were set on fire and concrete was hurled at law enforcement officers.

The California National Guard arrived in downtown Los Angeles early Sunday morning, stopping in front of the Hall of Justice next to city hall. New video shows troops driving through Paramount, near Alondra and Orange.

Is Los Angeles burning? Where are the protests? Is LA safe? Tourists visiting this week were understandably full of questions.

Indivisible, a Democratic-aligned network with ties to left-wing billionaire George Soros, is helping to spearhead the “No Kings” protests.

LA residents who surveyed the damage after the protests on June 8 were disillusioned by what unfolded in their city and feared what might come next.

Don’t think that somehow because they called out the National Guard there was violence. There was no violence. I was on the street, I know.”

Mayor Karen Bass says people involved in causing damage during anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles will be prosecuted.

LA’s anti-ICE protests have dominated headlines and television news stations over the last week. And depending on where you’ve been consuming your media, it might seem that Los Angeles is currently in a citywide meltdown.

The question of which side is justified, and which side is not, seems to have divided the country as much as the immigration issue. And Los Angeles has been transformed into a stage for a debate over the nature and meaning of American protest.
