Protesters and police are facing off in Los Angeles, and anti-ICE protests have occurred across the country. Follow for live updates

Protests have continued in the Los Angeles area since Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducted mass arrests in the area Friday.

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

Protests surrounding immigration enforcement actions in the Los Angeles area and the Trump administration's response to them have cued up a public spat between President Trump and Gov. Newsom.

President Donald Trump’s deployment of military troops to California is forcing Democrats back onto politically perilous turf, as they look for ways to condemn Trump’s actions without being drawn into a broad debate over immigration or tying themselves to the chaotic scenes emerging from Los Angeles.

White House officials say that Trump has a mandate to carry out his hard-line immigration policy and that politically, battling it out with a blue state is a winning issue for the administration.
