Federal agents use teargas, flash grenades to disperse LA protesters

A second day of protests and unrest took place on Saturday as residents of a predominantly Latino district of Los Angels clashed with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) federal agents.

Officers used tear gas and batons to disperse crowds in the Paramount district.

US President Donald Trump has said 2,000 National Guardsmen would be deployed to California to deal with the protests, which were sparked by raids targeting undocumented migrants.

California Governor Gavin Newsom called the move was “purposefully inflammatory” and said it would raise tensions.
