Protests over President Trump's immigration enforcement raids and his mobilization of the Marines and National Guard in Los Angeles have spread to other major U.S. cities.

The No Kings Day of Defiance is expected to be the largest single-day mobilization since Trump returned to office, organizers said.

The latest arrests suggest tensions are increasing ahead of the weekend, when more demonstrations are planned.

Hundreds of people gathered at Washington Square Park in downtown City on Thursday, protesting the Trump administrations's raids on undocumented immigrants. Then they marched to the federal building.

Amid a storm of protest and arrests in downtown Los Angeles, immigration authorities appear to be intensifying operations across Southern California as federal officials vow to press ahead with a crackdown on undocmented workers and residents.
