Protests in Los Angeles intensified following the deployment of 2,000 National Guard members by President Donald Trump, a move criticized by Democratic leaders as unnecessary and inflammatory.
The demonstrations, initially in response to immigration raids, grew in size and intensity over the weekend. CNN journalists witnessed law enforcement officers using force against protesters and dispersing tear gas.
Simultaneously, the protests led to significant disruptions on the 101 Freeway, a vital route linking major cities in California. Eyewitness accounts and media footage captured scenes of burning cars and demonstrators targeting police vehicles.
