U.S. Immigration Protests: Memorable Photos

Protests against the Trump Administration’s immigration policies have spread to cities from Seattle to New York as President Donald Trump has moved to crack down on demonstrations against immigration raids in Los Angeles.

Protesters have taken to the streets around the country in solidarity with Los Angeles, where Trump has deployed the National Guard and Marines against the wishes of state officials to quell unrest that broke out as Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids swept through the community. More than 300 undocumented immigrants in the L.A. area have been arrested since Friday, along with more than a hundred protestors.

The Los Angeles Police Department initially described Saturday protests in the city as “peaceful.” Some, however, have escalated, with reports of rocks and Molotov cocktails being thrown and cars being set on fire. Police declared an unlawful assembly on Sunday evening and dispersed crowds with tear gas and rubber bullets.

Local officials put a portion of downtown Los Angeles under an 8 p.m. curfew on Wednesday in an effort to "stop bad actors who are taking advantage of the President's chaotic escalation,” according to the city’s Mayor Karen Bass.

Meanwhile, protests have also broken out in cities including San Francisco, Sacramento, Houston, San Antonio, and Chicago. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, announced Wednesday that he intended to deploy the National Guard in the state to “ensure peace and order” ahead of more planned demonstrations.

Some key moments from the protests are captured in the images below.
