Chanting against a line of National Guard troops with Homeland Security officers behind them surrounding the federal buildings ramped up in the afternoon as people yelled, “Free them all!” and “National Guard go away.”As the crowd thinned, police began pushing protesters away from the area, firing crowd-control munitions as people chanted, “Peaceful protest.” Officers became more aggressive in their tactics in the evening, occasionally surging forward to arrest protesters that got too close. At least a dozen people remaining in the busy Little Tokyo neighborhood were surrounded by police and detained.

Other protests took shape Monday across LA County. Outside a Los Angeles clothing warehouse, relatives of detained workers demanded at a news conference in the morning that their loved ones be released.The family of Jacob Vasquez, 35, who was detained Friday at the warehouse, where he worked, said they had yet to receive any information about him.“Jacob is a family man and the sole breadwinner of his household,” Vasquez’s brother, Gabriel, told the crowd. He asked that his last name not be used, fearing being targeted by authorities.

Several dozen people were arrested in protests throughout the weekend. Authorities say one was detained Sunday for throwing a Molotov cocktail at police and another for ramming a motorcycle into a line of officers.The deployment appeared to be the first time in decades that a state’s National Guard was activated without a request from its governor, a significant escalation against those who have sought to hinder the

In a directive Saturday, Trump invoked a legal provision allowing him to deploy federal service members when there is “a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States.”Tom Homan, the Trump administration’s border czar, previously warned that anyone, including public officials, would be arrested if they obstructed federal immigration enforcement.

Newsom’s initial response to Homan, during the MSNBC interview and in subsequent posts on his own social media: “Come and get me, tough guy.”On Monday Trump seemed to agree with his border chief, telling reporters, “I would do it if I were Tom.”

“I think it’s great. Gavin likes the publicity, but I think it would be a great thing,” Trump added. “He’s done a terrible job. Look — I like Gavin, he’s a nice guy, but he’s grossly incompetent, everybody knows.”Homan later said there was “no discussion” about actually arresting Newsom, but reiterated that “no one’s above the law.”
