The protests taking place across Los Angeles are heightening fears in America's largest county, a place still recovering from the wildfires tragedy.

California will face off with Washington in court on Thursday over President Donald Trump's deployment of U.S. troops in Los Angeles after demonstrators again took to the streets in major cities to protest Trump's immigration crackdown.

Since the start of the protests, the Los Angeles Police Department has arrested 385 people, USA Today reported on Wednesday.

Actor John Leguizamo is among the celebrities who've commented on the protests, saying that "protesting is as American as apple pie."

President Donald Trump sent in troops, but demonstrators have largely come face to face with local police instead

President Donald Trump plans to speak at Fort Bragg to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army as he deploys the military in an attempt to quiet immigration protests in Los Angeles.

Hundreds of people have been arrested during days of largely peaceful demos, which have also spread elsewhere.

Protests over immigration raids have broken out in several other cities, including Chicago, New York, San Antonio and Spokane, Washington.
