With migrant communities already living in fear amid the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, ICE raids in downtown Los Angeles sparked days of protests.

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

Los Angeles is one of hundreds of places across the U.S. seeing massive protests against the Trump administration, although L.A. has already seen a week of demonstrations against the immigration policies of President Trump.

For Vinnie Walsh, 82, of Auburn, Mass., it was “the whole nine yards — the loss of decency, courtesy, compassion, democracy.” Laurae Carpenetti, 54, a physician from the Atlanta suburbs, said that Mr. Trump’s appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as his top health official was her motivating factor.
