Cops use tear gas to disperse anti-Trump crowd in Los Angeles - Day of action comes after week-long protests in Los Angeles against Trump’s hard-line immigration policies and ICE raids on immigrants

The protests, known as the No Kings Nationwide Day of Defiance, are a response to what the organisers describe as a shift towards authoritarianism and the militarisation of democracy. They are expected to be the largest since Donald Trump began his second term in the White House.

Organisers said hundreds of demonstrations were held in a day of defiance to counter a huge military parade hosted by Trump.
