Demonstrators flooded Los Angeles streets and freeways Sunday near a protest at the Metropolitan Detention Center following a declaration by the Los Angeles Police Department that the assembly was "unlawful.

National Guard troops and protesters faced off in Los Angeles on Sunday in an uneasy impasse at a federal detention center in Los Angeles, before city police moved in to try to disperse the crowd.The tense gatherings followed two days of skirmishes over federal immigration operations that President Trump cited in his decision to send in the state’s National Guard over the governor’s objections.

Trump has said he is deploying 2,000 California National Guard troops to Los Angeles to quell the protests, which he called “a form of rebellion.”
