Clashes in Los Angeles between law enforcement and people protesting immigration raids continued for a sixth day on Wednesday. Several other cities nationwide saw protests as well.

Here is what happened on each day. Hundreds of active-duty Marines sent by the Trump administration arrived in the Los Angeles area on Tuesday. In a televised speech, Gov. Gavin Newsom of California condemned President Trump’s deployment of the military to quell protests as a “brazen abuse of power.” Mayor Karen Bass of Los Angeles imposed a curfew from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.

in the downtown area. She said that the demonstrations had resulted in “significant” violence and vandalism. Sunday marked the third day of unrest as thousands of protesters against recent immigration raids took to the streets of downtown Los Angeles to voice their opposition. The Los Angeles Police Department estimated that about 6,000 demonstrators flocked to downtown for the rally. Waving several cultural flags in the air and holding signs stating their opinions, protesters took over the streets of downtown. In response to the ongoing unrest, President Donald Trump deployed the California National Guard to the city.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom said they objected the move since they believe the Guard's presence would escalate tensions. Bass added that her understanding is the troops were sent to protect three federal buildings in Los Angeles. As protests in Los Angeles continued for the third day Sunday, police fired tear gas and impact rounds, which are not meant to be lethal, to disperse crowds. Protesters had gathered outside the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building, which houses an immigration detention center.

I spent the day documenting the protests as they moved around Downtown, from the Metropolitan Detention Center to City Hall to the 101 freeway. It’s hard to say definitively, since chaos was unfolding in a few locations, but the law-enforcement response to the protests I photographed felt excessive. On multiple occasions, I saw what appeared to be police opening fire directly into crowds with “less lethal” rounds in response to plastic water bottles being thrown at them. Videos are circulating of protesters being run over by horses and a journalist being shot with a rubber bullet. I narrowly missed being hit by rounds several times. I was unsuccessful in avoiding getting tear-gassed.

Whenever I took a photo of something on fire or something being thrown at police, it felt like I was one of 100 photographers doing so.

Many protesters dispersed as evening fell and police declared an unlawful assembly, a precursor to officers moving in and making arrests of people who don’t leave. Some of those remaining threw objects at police from behind a makeshift barrier that spanned the width of a street and others hurled chunks of concrete, rocks, electric scooters and fireworks at California Highway... Officers ran under an overpass to take cover. Sunday’s protests in Los Angeles, a sprawling city of 4 million people, were centred in several blocks of downtown. It was the third and most intense day of demonstrations against Trump’s immigration crackdown in the region, as the arrival of around 300 Guard troops spurred anger and fear among many residents. The Guard was deployed specifically to protect federal buildings, including the downtown detention centre where protesters concentrated.
