A new poll shows a partisan split on President Donald Trump's troop deployment to quell Los Angeles protests, with 86% of Republicans supporting while Democrats strongly oppose it.

Dozens of mayors from across the Los Angeles region banded together to demand that the Trump administration stop the stepped-up immigration raids that have spread fear across their cities and sparked protests across the U.

The protesters gathered in downtown L.A. are a microcosm of the Democratic coalition that has dominated the city for decades.
