Tensions in Los Angeles escalated Sunday as thousands of protesters took to the streets in response to President Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard, blocking off a major freeway and setting self-driving cars on fire as law enforcement used tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash bangs to control the crowd.

Trump deployed the Guard after protests erupted when federal immigration authorities arrested dozens of people across the city.
