Amid a nationwide day of protest and following days of unrest in downtown Los Angeles, multiple simultaneous gatherings are expected to take place across Southern California on Saturday.

President Donald Trump's National Guard deployment in Los Angeles ignites political debate as Republicans blame sanctuary policies for riots, while Democrats accuse Trump of creating chaos during ICE operations.
