Australian journalist Lauren Tomasi was shot in the leg by a rubber bullet while reporting on the immigration raids in Los Angeles on Sunday, June 8.

Thousands of protesters took to the street in Los Angeles on Sunday in response to President Donald Trump’s extraordinary deployment of the National Guard.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom asked the Trump administration to rescind the deployment, saying the federal government was moving to "take over the California National Guard," calling the move "purposefully inflammatory" and saying it will "only escalate tensions."

What started as a small protest against immigrant arrests escalated over a few days, after President Trump called in the National Guard.

Trump is "unhinged right now," Gov. Gavin Newsom said, accusing the president of making the situation in LA worse by federalizing National Guard troops.

Several Waymo robotaxis and Lime e-scooters were set ablaze this weekend as unrest in downtown Los Angeles continued.

The ban has been strongly condemned as discriminatory by groups that provide aid and resettlement to refugees, who say it will prevent many people from reuniting with family and jeopardize the safety of those fleeing conflict and persecution in countries such as Afghanistan.

President Donald Trump has deployed California National Guard troops to Los Angeles to respond to immigration protests, over the objections of California Gov.

Protestors in over a dozen cities are set to demonstrate their solidarity with those arrested by federal agents in California over the weekend.
