Police made a handful of arrests on the second night of the curfew in downtown Los Angeles as mayors urged the Trump administration to withdraw the military and stop the immigration raids.

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

Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman said 500 National Guard members have been trained to accompany agents on immigration operations.

Dozens of mayors from across the Los Angeles region banded together Wednesday to demand that the Trump administration stop the stepped-up immigration raids that have spread fear across their cities and sparked protests across the U.

Day laborers detained outside of a Home Depot. Protesters marching. Hundreds of people arrested. National Guard and U.S. Marines deployed.

Most of the evening was peaceful, with a few protesters turning to vandalism in a tight area -- actions that brought police to move in closer and ultimately work to disperse the crowd.

Protests over the immigration crackdown have been held in major cities throughout the U.S. in recent days. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass joined fellow Democratic mayors across the country Wednesday in calling for an end to the raids, which she called a provocation by the White House.

Trump deployed 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines to LA against the wishes of Newsom and Bass. Newsom sued the Trump administration, saying they unlawfully "trampled over" California’s sovereignty when they federalized the California National Guard.
