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.

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."

60 arrested on eve of Army parade as veterans protest militarism

Sixty demonstrators, part of a veterans protest against militarism, were arrested at the Supreme Court on Friday night and will be charged with unlawful demonstration and crossing a police line, Capitol police said. Some will also be charged with assault on a police officer and resisting arrest, police said.

"A few people pushed the bike rack down and illegally crossed the police line while running towards the Rotunda Steps," Capitol police said in a statement.

Brittany Ramos DeBarros, a former Army captain who was one of the organizers of the event, told ABC News that although they planned this before the protests in Los Angeles, they now also plan on calling attention to the Trump administration's deployment of the military to the LA protests.

“We need to see more courage, more resistance, to the terrifying consolidation of authoritarianism that we're seeing right now, particularly as we're seeing the Marines be mobilized in our own cities,” Ramos DeBarros said.

“It's not an accident that Trump is about to have tanks rolling down our streets here in D.C. [at Saturday’s Army anniversary parade] while he has the military also terrorizing immigrants in LA,” she said.

Trump admin tells ICE to pause most raids on farms, hotels, restaurants

The Department of Homeland Security confirmed to ABC News that it issued new guidance to pause most raids on farms, restaurants, and hotels, after Trump earlier this week shifted his stance on targeting undocumented workers in those industries.

"Effective today, please hold on all work site enforcement investigations/operations on agriculture (including aquaculture and meat packing plants), restaurants and operating hotels," senior ICE official Tatum King wrote in an email to leaders of the ICE department that generally carries out criminal investigations.

The email says that investigations involving "human trafficking, money laundering, drug smuggling into these industries are OK."

The new guidance was first reported by the New York Times.

"We will follow the president's direction and continue to work to get the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens off of America's streets," DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement on ABC News.

This comes after Trump publicly acknowledged that those industries have been hurt by his deportation agenda.
