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.

Demonstrators gathered in a tense city following two days of skirmishes between protesters and federal officers over immigration operations that prompted the White House’s rare move to deploy troops without first being asked by the state.

On Sunday, President Trump deployed the military to face off against thousands of people protesting immigration raids. The confrontation took place outside the Metropolitan Detention Center and included around 300 National Guard troops who lined up with riot shields and fired tear gas at protesters.
