Protests in Los Angeles have entered their fifth day.
Demonstrators have taken to the streets to protest immigration raids being carried out by Government agency Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
President Donald Trump has deployed the National Guard and Marines to the city. More than 350 people have been arrested so far.
Here's how it played out.
6 June
Federal U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers began conducting raids across businesses in Los Angeles. More than 100 people were arrested.
The raids are part of Trump’s broader immigration crackdown. Last month, the administration set a target to arrest 3,000 people a day over alleged immigration violations.
In response to the raids, protesters started gathering outside the Metropolitan Detention Centre. Police ordered protesters to disperse.
7 June
Protests continued to grow in numbers across the city, with demonstrators calling for “ICE to get out of LA”.
The LA Police Department (LAPD) made 28 arrests after it said protests “escalated”. It said it responded to acts of violence, vandalism, and looting.
Trump announced he was deploying 2,000 National Guard troops to LA. This is an army reserve group deployed in emergencies.
