Demonstrators hit the streets again in L.A. after President Trump deployed the National Guard due to protests against ICE raids.

Downtown Los Angeles bustled Wednesday with dog-walkers and commuters touting coffee cups, returning to business as usual after the first night of curfew meant to tamp down tensions following days of protests over President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown.
