Protests in Los Angeles have entered their seventh day as residents rally against recent immigration raids and the deployment of the National Guard across the city.
Many families say they are living in fear, watching loved ones taken from their homes and workplaces in early morning operations.
City leaders and religious organizations have publicly urged federal and state authorities to halt the raids, but so far their appeals have not prompted any changes.
Several protesters have been arrested during demonstrations, and tensions are escalating as U.S. Marines prepare to join the National Guard on the streets.
With the situation intensifying, communities across LA are bracing for what comes next in this unfolding chapter of immigration enforcement.
