The Los Angeles Police Department issued a tactical alert Saturday afternoon amid ongoing protests over federal immigration enforcement operations.

Louisiana's GOP-dominated Legislature passed a package of bills this week that were designed to aid in federal crackdowns on migrants suspected of entering the country illegally.

Law enforcement has been pushing back Los Angeles protestors with 'less lethal' weapons. Now the National Guard is deployed and Marines are activated.

The deployment of LAPD officers and L.A. County sheriff's deputies in response to protests over federal immigration actions has led to several viral incidents and raised questions about the role of local law enforcement in quelling the unrest.

The bill would enable community raids, targeted removals and widespread detention camps that sweep up U.S. citizens and the undocumented alike.
