Marines have moved into Los Angeles to guard a federal building after a week of protests against immigration raids, while communities across the country are preparing for demonstrations against President Donald Trump’s polices this weekend.

While the president contends that the L.A. protests against his immigration policy have been chaotic, the scenes are not as violent.

Top Portland and Multnomah County leaders, law enforcement officials and several community leaders stood together Friday in advance of large planned protests to decry the immigration policies of the federal administration and affirm the laws in place to protect immigrants.

A few hundred people in Market Square marched through downtown Knoxville to protest ICE and Trump's use of military at Los Angeles protests.

Alejandro Theodoro Orellana, 29, faces federal charges for allegedly “distributing face shields to suspected rioters” to protesters on June 11.

The bill would enable community raids, targeted removals and widespread detention camps that sweep up U.S. citizens and the undocumented alike.

The ongoing protests in Los Angeles began with small demonstrations against immigration raids in the nation's second largest city.
