*Police order protesters to leave downtown Los Angeles as Trump says 'bring in the troops* The protests began on Friday after it emerged Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers were carrying out raids across the city. The BBC's US partner, CBS, reports that operations took place in the Westlake district as well as in Paramount, south of LA - where the population is more than 82% Hispanic. There were also reports of an ICE raid at a Home Depot store in Paramount, which officials told the BBC were false. Immigration raids have ramped up under President Donald Trump's administration, which last month asked federal agents to arrest 3,000 people a day. ICE later told CBS that 44 unauthorised immigrants were arrested in a single operation at a job site on Friday. Another 77 were also taken in in the greater LA area on the same day. Following the raids, the Federal Building in downtown LA became the focus of protests after it emerged that detainees were allegedly being held there. Graffiti was sprayed on the building and objects were thrown at police, CBS reports, leading to an unlawful assembly declaration. Protests continued into Saturday, prompting Trump to deploy 2,000 National Guard members to the Los Angeles area - a move condemned by California's Governor Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass. *Knowledge Is Power That Is Best Shared.
