Protests against President Trump's deportation policies have divided Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill and across the country. Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, praised the President's decision to deploy the National Guard in California.

Arrest made in Los Angeles after a man allegedly attacked CHP officers and set a patrol car on fire during a protest.

Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the San Francisco Immigration Court at 100 Montgomery Street to oppose President Donald Trump 's aggressive deportation plans after Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE) arrested multiple immigrants at the downtown courtroom, NBC Bay Area first reported.

At least five carwashes across Los Angeles County and Orange County have been raided since Sunday, according to one labor group.

They are trying to strike a careful balance on issues where Republicans have held a political advantage in recent years.

The protest comes before leaders vote on whether or not to pass a budget that is expected to lock new undocumented immigrants out of Medi-Cal.

Critics such as California Governor Gavin Newsom viewed Trump's decision to send in the National Guard as an abuse of power.
