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.

Posts using fake images and baseless claims have sought to connect protests to left-wing Latin American governments, similar to misinformation that has swirled around previous news events.

Despite the curfew, people are still coming to downtown LA to participate in immigration protests. Local residents are living with around-the-clock law enforcement and experiencing vandalism.

LOS ANGELES − Two people have been charged with throwing firebombs during five days of protests that have rocked a downtown section of the city and prompted President Trump' controversial decision to send 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines here, authorities said Wednesday.

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.

California union leader David Huerta, who has been charged with conspiring to impede an officer during a demonstration over President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, was released Monday from federal custody on $50,000 bond.

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

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.”

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.

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.
