California National Guard troops were deployed to the streets of Los Angeles on Sunday to help quell a third day of protests over President Donald Trump\u2019s immigration enforcement, a step the state\u2019s Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom, called \u201cunlawful\u201d.<\/p>\n
Police were making more arrests after at least 10 on Sunday and 29 the previous night, Los Angeles police officers told a news briefing.<\/p>\n
National Guard troops guarded federal government buildings, as police and protesters clashed in separate demonstrations over federal immigration raids in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
Los Angeles police declared several rallies to be \u201cunlawful assemblies\u201d, accusing some protesters of throwing concrete projectiles, bottles and other items at police.<\/p>\n
Video images showed several self-driving cars from Alphabet\u2019s Waymo were set ablaze on a downtown street on Sunday evening.<\/p>\n
Los Angeles police officers on horseback attempted to control the crowds. Demonstrators shouted \u201cShame on you!\u201d at police, and some appeared to throw objects, video images showed. One group blocked the 101 Freeway, a major downtown thoroughfare.<\/p>\n
Groups of protesters, many carrying Mexican flags and signs denouncing US immigration authorities, gathered in spots around the city.<\/p>\n
The Los Angeles branch of the Party for Socialism and Liberation organised speakers outside City Hall for an afternoon rally.<\/p>\n
California Governor Gavin Newsom said he requested the Trump administration to withdraw its order to deploy 2,000 National Guard troops in Los Angeles County, calling it \u201cunlawful\u201d.<\/p>\n
In an interview with MSNBC, Newsom said he planned to sue the administration over the deployment, adding that Trump \u201chas created the conditions\u201d around the protests.<\/p>\n
Newsom accused Trump of trying to manufacture a crisis and violating California\u2019s state sovereignty. \u201cThese are the acts of a dictator, not a president,\u201d he wrote in a post on X.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
