Saturday marks the first full day of Marines on duty in Los Angeles, one week after protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids ignited in LA and spread to other cities across the U.S., including New York City, San Francisco, Boston, and Austin, Texas.

Meanwhile, more than 2,000 "No Kings Day" protests were held across the U.S. on Saturday to protest the Trump administration and to counterprogram the military parade in Washington, D.C., organizers said. More than 5 million people participated, according to organizers.

The demonstrations remained peaceful in almost all cities, but as the evening grew in Los Angeles, tensions escalated between police and protesters.

Minnesota 'No Kings' protests canceled

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz warned that Minnesotans should not attend any political rallies in the state until the gunman who killed a state lawmaker and wounded another lawmaker early Saturday is caught.

Fliers reading "No Kings" were found in the suspect's car, authorities said. Thousands of "No Kings Day" protests are set to be held across the U.S. on Saturday to protest Trump's administration and to counterprogram the military parade in Washington, D.C.

No Kings events have now been canceled across Minnesota on Saturday.

LA curfew to continue Saturday night

The curfew in a part of downtown Los Angeles will remain in effect Saturday night as multiple protests are expected in the city, LA Mayor Bass said.

"Hundreds of additional personnel are mobilized and proactively positioned to keep people safe and to protect property,” she said.

She said Friday’s protests were peaceful with very few arrests.

"We have zero tolerance for anyone who damages property or puts officers or people at risk," Bass stressed, pleading, "Please, please do not give the administration an excuse to intervene. Let's make sure we show the world the best of Los Angeles, and our country."

LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell added, "If you're here in Los Angeles today to make your voice heard through peaceful demonstrations, we are here to protect you. But if you come with the intent to commit crime, damage property or harm others, including our officers, you will be arrested. ... We're asking everyone who plans to participate in today's events to do so peacefully and respectfully."

Since June 7, the LAPD said it's made 523 arrests related to protest activity.

Guardsmen will now be protecting ICE at raids

National Guardsmen have carried out 26 missions since they were deployed to Los Angeles, Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman of the National Guard said. A handful of those assignments have been to guard facilities and the remaining have been missions protecting ICE on raids, he said.

Sherman had told ABC News and The Associated Press in a joint interview on Wednesday that 500 of the 4,000 National Guardsmen assigned to LA had been specifically trained to work with these ICE teams. Now that the Guardsmen who had been protecting the federal buildings are being replaced by 200 Marines, those Guardsmen will be trained to working on ICE raids.

"I would like to emphasize that the soldiers will not participate in law enforcement activities," Sherman said. "Rather, they'll be focused on protecting federal law enforcement personnel."
