LOS ANGELES–Law enforcement continued to fire flash bangs in an effort to disperse remaining protesters and agitators near City Hall in downtown Los Angeles where unlawful assembly has been declared.

Amid a nationwide day of protest and following days of unrest in downtown Los Angeles, multiple simultaneous gatherings are expected to take place across Southern California on Saturday.

A new poll shows a partisan split on President Donald Trump's troop deployment to quell Los Angeles protests, with 86% of Republicans supporting while Democrats strongly oppose it.

The development comes a day after an appeals court temporarily blocked a judge’s order that directed President Trump to return control of the California National Guard.

A seaplane pilot, the sole occupant of the aircraft, made an emergency water landing Thursday at the Port of Los Angeles and was uninjured. The plane landed around 2:30 p.m., prompting a response from the U.S. Coast Guard, Los Angeles Port Police and Los Angeles Fire Department, according to LAFD spokesman Brian Humphrey.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was in Los Angeles Thursday morning providing an update on immigration operations and protests in the area, when she was interrupted by Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla,

Protests over President Trump's immigration enforcement raids and his mobilization of the Marines and National Guard in Los Angeles have spread to other major U.S. cities.
