While the president contends that the L.A. protests against his immigration policy have been chaotic, the scenes are not as violent.

US President Donald Trump will preside over a huge military parade in Washington on his 79th birthday Saturday, as nationwide "No Kings" protests underscore America's deep divisions over his second term.

Protests against the Trump administration, which are set to continue this weekend after a week of uprising that spread from Los Angeles across the country, have energized a portion of the left-wing base that has been despondent since President Trump’s election.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday temporarily blocked a federal judge's order that directed President Donald Trump to return control of National Guard troops to California after he deployed them in response to protests in Los Angeles over immigration raids.

Their clash over Trump’s deployment of military forces for anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles is far from the first time the two leaders have butted heads.

When President Trump unleashed the troops on the streets of Los Angeles, his actions had an unintended consequence. Gov. Gavin Newsom was suddenly in the spotlight, a forceful adversary.
