Protests against federal immigration raids and President Donald Trump’s mobilization of the National Guard and Marines in Los Angeles have sprung up across the country, with demonstrations in cities including Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, New York and Seattle.

While the protests have been largely peaceful, some have led to clashes with law enforcement. Hundreds of protesters have been arrested nationwide, and police have used chemical irritants and flashbangs to disperse crowds. After a stand-off in Austin, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced on social media that the Texas National Guard “will be deployed to locations across the state to ensure peace & order.”

Protests are expected to continue throughout the week. On Saturday, widespread “No Kings” rallies will coincide with Trump’s birthday and a military parade in Washington, D.C., commemorating the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary.
