() The Los Angeles Police Department arrested 27 people for “failure to disperse” at an anti-ICE protest Saturday, police confirmed.

Hundreds gathered after Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducted immigration raids at a Home Depot in the city of Paramount, just south of L.A. Authorities said it was an unlawful protest and ordered individuals to leave.

President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard Sunday morning, which California Gov. Gavin Newsom said he opposed.

Some protesters started small fires and threw objects at officers, clashing with authorities from LAPD, the L.A. Sheriff’s Office and the Department of Homeland Security. Law enforcement responded with tear gas and pepper spray.

Protests against ICE raids also erupted in Chicago last week and New York City on Sunday. Neither were as tense as the ones in L.A., where raids could last up to 30 days, according to Democratic Rep. Nanette Barragán.
