California Immigration Protests 

Crowds have largely dispersed in downtown Los Angeles, which the police department declared an "unlawful assembly area." About 300 National Guard troops are now on the ground, deployed by Donald Trump over the objections of California leaders. These protests are taking place amidst a series of immigration measures by the Trump White House. Immigration lawyer Sui Ching and NPR correspondent Jasmine Garsd discuss the implications of all these recent developments.
