() Approximately 330 immigrants have been arrested in Los Angeles since demonstrations against the Trump administration’s federal immigration raids began Friday.

That’s according to the White House, which announced the arrest numbers Wednesday as the city prepared to enter its second day under a curfew enacted by LA Mayor Karen Bass.

The epicenter of the nation’s protests, LA’s streets have been flooded by activists, looters and thousands of federal troops alike.

The U.S. Northern Command said on Wednesday that 700 U.S. Marines have completed training and will be deployed to Los Angeles “within the next 48 hours.” The Marines, like the National Guard, will be tasked with protecting federal functions, personnel and property under Title 10.

More protests are planned through the weekend, including a “No Kings” rally on Saturday. The event is part of a national network of events to counter Trump’s pricey military parade in Washington, D.C.

Trump’s military response to LA protests heads to court

A federal court hearing has been scheduled for Thursday over the Trump administration’s decision to send military into LA without a request from California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

The hearing will serve as a defining moment in the legal back-and-forth between Trump and California officials.

The Justice Department argues the administration has no obligation to consult with the governor before sending in troops, while Newsom’s lawsuit cites a 19th-century law that makes it illegal to use federal troops for law enforcement on domestic soil unless the president invokes the Insurrection Act.

Anti-ICE protests continue coast to coast on Wednesday

In Portland, Oregon, approximately 60 to 70 protesters demonstrated outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility into the night Wednesday, according to affiliate KOIN.

Local police said munitions were deployed by federal law enforcement when cars were leaving the facility, but things remained mostly peaceful following clashes Tuesday night.

In Indianapolis, around 1,000 people protested ICE raids outside game three of the NBA finals, affiliate WTTV reported. The protests remained peaceful and broke up shortly after beginning.

And in Baltimore, demonstrations took place across the city as protesters urged local leaders to protect immigrants from ICE. Again, the demonstrations remained peaceful.
