A large protest organized by the "No Kings" movement against US President Donald Trump was held in Los Angeles amid heightened tensions over ongoing anti-deportation rallies. Local authorities pleaded for calm at the events,

The LAPD said on social media that the people in the crowd were throwing "rocks, bricks, bottles and other objects" while they were near the federal building.

Millions of people turned out for "No Kings" protests nationwide on Saturday that were largely peaceful though there were some arrests and police had to disperse unruly crowds, including in Georgia and Los Angeles.

LOS ANGELES (KABC) - A protester was shot in the eye during the “No Kings Day” rally in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday. Now, Marshall Woodruff says he’s not sure if he’ll get his vision back in his right eye. “The bullet fractured my cheek, and it tore part of my eye open,” he said.

The American Civil Liberties Union said over 5 million people participated in protests against the Trump administration on June 14.

President Trump has called for expanded deportation operations in Los Angeles after "No King Day" protests over the weekend and anti-ICE protests last week in response to ICE raids across Southern California.

In Los Angeles, 38 people were arrested downtown on Saturday night, police said Sunday. In Huntington Beach, police arrested a convicted felon they said had a loaded handgun.

Tens of thousands of Americans joined "No Kings" protests across the United States against the Trump administration.
