While tensions escalate as protests against ICE continue to grip major cities, "No Kings" demonstrations are underway across the U.S.

With the downtown facing an 8 p.m. curfew, the Los Angeles police began using tear gas and crowd-control munitions to break up protests after issuing a dispersal order.

Tens of thousands of Americans protested President Donald Trump at rallies and marches in major cities from New York to Los Angeles on Saturday, a day marred by the assassination of a Democratic lawmaker in Minnesota and conflict in the Middle East.

The demonstrations come on the heels of protests flaring up around the country over federal immigration enforcement raids that began last week and Trump ordering National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles where protesters blocked a freeway and set cars on fire.
