From Seattle and Austin to Chicago and Washington, D.C., marchers have chanted slogans, carried signs against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency and snarled traffic through downtown avenues and outside federal offices. While many have been peaceful, some have resulted in clashes with law enforcement as officers made arrests and used chemical irritants to disperse crowds

Activists are planning more and even larger demonstrations in the coming days, with 鈥淣o Kings鈥� events across the country on Saturday to coincide with Trump鈥檚 planned military parade through Washington.

The Trump administration said it would continue its program of raids and deportations despite the protests.

鈥淚CE will continue to enforce the law,鈥� Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem posted Tuesday on social media.

Trump says he鈥檚 open to using Insurrection Act

Trump left open the possibility of invoking the Insurrection Act, which authorizes the president to deploy military forces inside the U.S. to suppress rebellion or domestic violence or to enforce the law in certain situations. It鈥檚 one of the most extreme emergency powers available to a U.S. president.

鈥淚f there鈥檚 an insurrection, I would certainly invoke it. We鈥檒l see,鈥� he said from the Oval Office.

Later the president called protesters 鈥渁nimals鈥� and 鈥渁 foreign enemy鈥� in a speech at Fort Bragg ostensibly to recognize the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army.

Trump has described Los Angeles in dire terms that Bass and Newsom say are nowhere close to the truth.

In a public address Tuesday evening, Newsom called Trump鈥檚 actions the start of an 鈥渁ssault鈥� on democracy.

Newsom warned people against inciting violence, but urged them to stand up to the president鈥檚 actions.

LA police swiftly enforce downtown curfew as protests against Trump鈥檚 immigration crackdown continue

Los Angeles police swiftly enforced a downtown curfew, making arrests moments after it took effect, while deploying officers on horseback and using crowd control projectiles to break up a group of hundreds of demonstrators.

Members of the National Guard stood watch behind plastic shields, but did not appear to participate in the arrests Tuesday night.

Hours later, many of the protesters had dispersed, although sporadic confrontations continued that were much smaller than in previous nights.

The demonstrations have been mostly concentrated downtown and the curfew covers a 1-square-mile (2.5-square-kilometer) section that includes an area where protests have occurred since Friday in the sprawling city of 4 million.

Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom asked a court to put an emergency stop to the military helping federal immigration agents, with some guardsmen now standing in protection around agents as they carried out arrests. He said it would only heighten tensions and promote civil unrest. The judge set a hearing for Thursday, giving the administration several days to continue those activities.
