The number of demonstrators in Los Angeles who came out to rally against Donald Trump's policies amounted to 30 thousand, according to the city's mayor Karen Bass.

"30,000 people came out today," she wrote on social media X. "To exercise their constitutional right to peaceful protest." "That's powerful," Bass emphasized.

Protests against the policies pursued by the White House occupant began in many American states after the riots in Los Angeles on June 7. They, in turn, were caused by a raid by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service - a mass operation to identify illegal immigrants was carried out in the city center.

The next day, the White House announced the deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles.
