() Protesters against President Donald Trump’s immigration policies continued to clash with National Guard troops and police in Los Angeles on Sunday after a weekend of unrest. 

reporters on the ground described the scene next to City Hall near the Civic Center as “a mess” in the early hours of Monday morning. 

Police declared an “unlawful assembly” in the city late Sunday, and it was unclear how many were arrested. At least two dozen were arrested Saturday. 

The 101 Freeway, a key artery into downtown LA, remained blocked off, and some employees of nearby businesses were reportedly told not to come to work Monday. Several Waymo robo-taxi vehicles were set on fire. Because they’re electric, the flames were harder to put out. 

Tensions escalated Saturday in response to Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids at a Home Depot in the city of Paramount, south of LA. 

President Donald Trump deployed hundreds of National Guard members to the area Sunday and said he was prepared to send in the Marines, a move several California officials have slammed as an escalation of chaos. 

In addition to the LA Police Department, police from nearby Glendale and Redondo Beach also responded to the scene, where officers used foam batons, tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the crowds. 

Protests also broke out in San Francisco late Sunday, following recent demonstrations in Chicago and New York City.
