American cities are preparing for a new round of protests in response to immigration-related raids.

Several American cities are preparing for a new round of protests today, Wednesday, in response to immigration-related raids, while areas in Los Angeles have been placed under a curfew at night in an attempt to halt the ongoing disturbances for the past five days. Preparations are also underway for anti-Trump protests across the United States on Saturday, with tanks and armored vehicles set to parade through the streets of Washington in a military display marking the 250th anniversary of the founding of the U.S. Army and coinciding with the 79th birthday of the president. Texas Governor, Republican Greg Abbott, announced that he will deploy the National Guard on Wednesday ahead of the planned protests. Demonstrations have already erupted this week in Texas, New York, Atlanta, Chicago, and other cities. Trump's decision to send National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles has sparked widespread debate in the United States regarding the use of the military on American soil, putting the Republican president at odds with Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom.
