LOS ANGELES, June 11 (Reuters) - Several U.S. cities braced for a new round of protests on Wednesday over President Donald Trump's sweeping immigration raids, as parts of Los Angeles spent the night under curfew in an effort to quell five days of unrest.
Officials were also preparing for nationwide anti-Trump demonstrations on Saturday, when tanks and armored vehicles will rumble down the streets of Washington, D.C., in a military parade marking the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary and coinciding with the president's 79th birthday.

The governor of Texas, Republican Greg Abbott, said he will deploy the National Guard on Wednesday ahead of planned protests. Already this week, demonstrations have broken out in Austin, Texas, New York, Atlanta and Chicago, among other cities.
Trump's decision to send National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles has sparked a national debate on the use of military on U.S. soil and pitted the Republican president against California's Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom.
Trump has claimed that the deployment prevented the violence from raging out of control, an assertion Newsom and other local officials said was the opposite of the truth.
"This brazen abuse of power by a sitting president inflamed a combustible situation, putting our people, our officers and even our National Guard at risk. That's when the downward spiral began," Newsom said in a video address on Tuesday. "He again chose escalation. He chose more force. He chose theatrics over public safety. ... Democracy is under assault."

Instead of calling them “protests”, how about calling them thuggery from the left.
That will be interesting. Got my popcorn...got yours?
They were protesting against him in 2017 as well.
They’re simply riots. And note that the media never mentions how they impact peoples’ daily lives, rights and property.
The enemedia doesn’t care.
HOW did we think mocking God, would cost us nothing... ??
Newsome refused to do what he promised...protect the people of his state.
Just a reminder....there is no such thing as a Sanctuary city, state or park bench.
Why do you have to “brace” for peaceful gatherings?
Insurrectionist comes to mind
Must be a demonicRAT thing.
**Instead of calling them āprotestsā, how about calling them thuggery from the left.**
**Why do you have to ābraceā for peaceful gatherings?**
Anyone enjoying this as much as I am?
We know who funds and organizes these inserections. It doesn’t take more than a little internet sleuthing. Why doesn’t the DOJ and FBI do anything about it? Congress isn’t interested in anything as long as President Trump is president.
Why the hell should cities have to “brace” themselves from a far left assault on civility that’s as “peaceful” as a church picnic according to the far left’s Damockrazy “media”?
These illegals are NOT 'immigrants' anymore than a thief breaking into your home is a house guest.
More proof Reuters sucks.
PS Reuters - drug dealers pushing fentanyl to teenagers aren't pharmacists either...
A declaration of war against the USA by the Mexican drug cartels and the Mexican Government, which they control, using
the President of Mexico, as a pawn, and the insurgents in the USA, as soldiers,and using as weapons
Mexican nationalism,and they perceive--ERRONEOUSLY--that the time to strike is now, when the USA, at least in their opinion, is at its weakest, before President Trump and the MAGA Republicans can re-establish US strength and ascendancy.Mexican resentment toward the USA for past transgressions, especially the annexation of Mexican territory by the USA in the 19th century and a desire to reclaim it,
the complicity, witting or unwitting, of the US Democrat Party and its supporters, including the so-called "journalists" of the news media and the feckless, misguided and easily brainwashed American "liberals"/"progressives", and
the Decadence of Western Civilization in America, manifest as the counter-culture movement of the 1960s and its 21st century successor, wokeism, which they perceive as a lethal weakness crippling American society, the American People, and the entire United States,
Weak and incompetent US "leaders" such as the absurd Joe Biden and the ridiculous, weeping Gavin Newsom fuel their erroneous conviction that the US is weak enough for attack and conquest, but it is fueled even more by the stupid Americans who support such idiotic weaklings and their woke and evil Democrat Party.
The stupid woke Americans and their ridiculous and absurd leaders notwithstanding, should the enemies of the USA--WHOEVER THEY MIGHT BE!--persist in their attack on the USA they will awaken a Sleeping Tiger and will suffer the same fate as the Japanese Empire.
Be forewarned!
There haven’t been riots or looting in LA for nearly 3 days.
There are a couple hundred people standing around, but that’s about it.āŗ
My wife and I came from the Midwest and Southwest, and most of our living relatives still live where they were born, raised and live with their extended families.
None of them will be visiting any west coast rat owned/controlled city/areas this summer.
Now is the time or the FBI to shine and regain some of the lost prestige. Plant informants in these subversive organizations to give good intelligence of plans and tactics, identify leaders and get them behind bars - then prosecute, prosecute, prosecute.
