Protests that sprang up in Los Angeles over immigration enforcement raids have spread across the country. The Trump administration said it would continue the raids and deportations despite the protests.

While many have been peaceful, with marchers chanting slogans and carrying signs against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, some protesters have clashed with police, leading to hundreds of arrests and the use of chemical irritants to disperse crowds.

Protests in Los Angeles — which have inspired protests in other major cities across the country — have ramped up in response to President Donald Trump’s immigration policies and raids from the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
