What started as a small protest against immigrant arrests escalated over a few days, after President Trump called in the National Guard.

With migrant communities already living in fear amid the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, ICE raids in downtown Los Angeles sparked days of protests.

Hardware store chain Home Depot has become the site of several immigration raids across the L.A. area., with officials targeting day laborers in the latest crackdown.

Almost immediately after the mostly peaceful protesters (who are mostly Mexican illegal aliens) took to the streets of Los Angeles to engage in Latin American-style protests -- throwing rocks, burning cars, waving Mexican flags, etc. -- the media begged the rioters to stop. (Who knew there was something left to burn in LA?)

Reports of ICE raids being carried out at Home Depot parking lots in Los Angeles sparked widespread protests across the city, and NBC News' Jacob Soboroff reports from one of the locations where an enforcement operation reportedly took place.

The recent immigration raids in Los Angeles have put the spotlight on the popular hardware store chain Home Depot (NYSE: HD), leading to protests and potential business implications.

The city was at the center of a national storm after images of protests near a Home Depot there Saturday spread.
