CalMatters photographers captured immigration sweeps and protests that led up to President Trump's deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles.

Demonstrators hit the streets again in L.A. after President Trump deployed the National Guard due to protests against ICE raids.

The protests began Friday after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents carried out coordinated raids across Los Angeles, detaining dozens of workers at warehouses and other worksites. The arrests sparked immediate backlash, with demonstrators converging outside federal buildings, blocking freeways, and in some cases clashing with police.
