With migrant communities already living in fear amid the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, ICE raids in downtown Los Angeles sparked days of protests.

Officers deployed flashbangs and tear gas, and Sky5 captured the moment officers on foot and horseback moved into the large crowd.

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

A Los Angeles man is accused of setting a patrol car on fire in downtown during a protest against immigration raids.

A curfew has been enacted for downtown Los Angeles from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. amid the ongoing anti-ICE protests, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced.

Demonstrators made their way onto the 101 Freeway and stopped traffic in both directions before National Guard and law enforcement moved them off.

Meanwhile, two men are being charged by the U.S. attorney in Los Angeles for possession of an unregistered destructive device for their alleged roles in the LA protest violence, federal prosecutors announced. Emiliano Galvez and Wrackkie Quiogue are both accused of trying to throw Molotov cocktails at police, according to federal prosecutors.
