“Multiple groups continue to congregate on 1st St between Spring and Alameda. Those groups are being addressed and mass arrests are being initiated. Curfew is in effect,” read a post on the LAPD’s social media, sent at 9:09p.m local time on Tuesday night.

The public fight between California Gov. Gavin Newsom and President Donald Trump keeps intensifying, with name calling, insults and accusations traded over television and social media networks.

The demonstrations coincide with a Flag Day military parade in Washington honoring the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday.

Police and elected officials say the troops and Marines sent by the Trump administration are not properly trained to interact with civilians. A judge will decide whether to limit their duties.

This week has been marked by increasingly large-scale protests around the country in response to the Trump administration's immigration policies. This was Seattle's largest protest of the week.

Dozens of mayors from across the Los Angeles region banded together Wednesday to demand that the Trump administration stop the stepped-up immigration raids that have spread fear across their cities and sparked protests across the U.

White House "border czar" Tom Homan said that protests in Los Angeles are complicating immigration raids, making them more "difficult" and more "dangerous."

Former Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn said, "Trump thinks anything done in his name is OK. Jan. 6 was done in his name, so our officers don't matter."
