Which other US cities have joined LA's protests over immigration raids?

Protests have spread across America following days of demonstrations in Los Angeles against immigration raids by the federal government.

Thousands of troops and hundreds of US Marines have been deployed to LA by US President Donald Trump to quell the demos, causing a row with state politicians.

Days of unrest were sparked after federal immigration officers arrested large groups of unauthorised immigrants in areas with large Latino populations.

Rallies have since taken place from coast to coast, with more planned over the coming days.

On Saturday, a series of anti-Trump "No Kings" rallies in hundreds of cities across the country are scheduled to coincide with a large military parade in Washington to mark the US Army's 250th anniversary.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordered the state's National Guard to deploy to San Antonio ahead of planned demonstrations on Wednesday.

He wrote on X: "Peaceful protest is legal. Harming a person or property is illegal & will lead to arrest."

San Antonio's mayor, Ron Nirenberg, said Wednesday that he did not ask for National Guard troops "nor did we get any advance warning."

In Austin, hundreds of protesters gathered on Monday between the state capitol building and a federal building that houses an office for staff of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

State and local police used pepper spray and tear gas to disperse the crowd, while bottles, rocks and other objects were thrown towards officers. Abbott said more than a dozen people were arrested.

Demonstrators have also gathered in Dallas - where at least one arrest was made after protesters and police clashed on Monday night - and in Houston.

Thousands of protestors gathered in lower Manhattan on Tuesday.

Thirty-four people were arrested and charged, the New York City Police Department (NYPD) told the BBC. A further 52 people were detained and issued with court summonses after the largely peaceful protests.

Mayor Eric Adams said protests like those in LA were "unacceptable and will not be tolerated if attempted in our city".

LA is not the only city in California where people have been demonstrating. Thousands of people have protested in San Francisco - and more than 150 were arrested after a demonstration near another ICE office turned violent on Sunday.

Buildings and vehicles were damaged, according to local police, while two officers were injured in the disorder.

And on Tuesday, some 200 protesters gathered outside the San Francisco Immigration Court after activists said several arrests were made there.

Protests were also held on Tuesday in nearby Oakland.

On Monday hundreds of protestors gathered in downtown Santa Ana, in Orange County south of LA, after reports of ICE raids in the city that morning.

The gathering descended into violence. Federal authorities used tear gas to disperse the crowd, while local police said protesters had thrown fireworks, rocks and bottles towards officers.

There were reports of further protests and clashes in the area on Tuesday night, as National Guard troops were deployed in the city.

Congresswoman Lou Correa said the problems were caused not "by us but by the federal government coming into our community".

Correa said at least 31 people were currently in custody at Ice detention facilities in the city.

Thousands gathered near an immigration court before marching through the city's downtown on Tuesday evening and halting traffic on a main highway.

A car sped through the crowd at around 18:19 local time (23:19 GMT) and narrowly missed the demonstrators, according to the BBC's US partner CBS News. The vehicle appeared to be travelling at 50mph (80 km/h) at one point, a witness said. A 66-year-old woman suffered a broken arm.

Officers also clashed with protesters and at least 17 arrests were made, according to the Chicago Police Department.

Fireworks were thrown towards police and tear gas used to disperse protestors in Atlanta on Monday, according to local media, and hundreds gathered along the city's Buford Highway on Tuesday.

At least six people were arrested.

At least 15 people were arrested after around 150 protestors gathered in Philadelphia on Tuesday, according to CBS.

Local police said the crowd disrupted traffic and "endangered public safety". Several officers used force when making arrests, they added, saying this would be reviewed.

Members of several unions gathered in the US capital on Monday, marching past the Department of Justice building.

They rallied against the detention of union leader David Huerta during the raids in LA on Friday. He was released from federal custody later on Monday.

President Trump has said that protesters at Saturday's military parade in the city will be "met with very big force".

Hundreds gathered outside Boston City Hall on Monday, similarly calling for Huerta's release.

On Tuesday, hundreds marched through the city to the Massachusetts State House.

Around 50 people gathered outside Seattle's immigration court on Tuesday. Some tried to block vehicle access to the building using e-bikes and e-scooters.
