President Trump has called for expanded deportation operations in Los Angeles after "No King Day" protests over the weekend and anti-ICE protests last week in response to ICE raids across Southern California.

Lauren Tomasi, a 9News correspondent, was reporting live when an officer behind her suddenly raised their firearm and fired a nonlethal round at close range.

The Trump administration faces a legal challenge to its deployment of the military to protests. Tensions flared after President Trump sent troops, and protests spread to other U.S. cities.

Tonight' host criticized the president for sending National Guard troops and Marines into Los Angeles: "Why would you send troops if there is nothing for them to do?"

Elizabeth Mendoza watched nervously as demonstrators protesting President Donald Trump’s immigration raids and policies clashed with police outside of her Compton restaurant, Restaurante Y Pupuseria La Ceiba.

The development comes a day after an appeals court temporarily blocked a judge’s order that directed President Trump to return control of the California National Guard.

The bill would enable community raids, targeted removals and widespread detention camps that sweep up U.S. citizens and the undocumented alike.

The power of the US military will be sharply on display this weekend – on two different coasts and in two very different ways.
