Cops use tear gas to disperse anti-Trump crowd in Los Angeles - Day of action comes after week-long protests in Los Angeles against Trump’s hard-line immigration policies and ICE raids on immigrants

WASHINGTON/LOS ANGELES/NEW YORK (Reuters) -Hundreds of thousands of Americans protested President Donald Trump at rallies and marches in major cities from New York to Los Angeles on Saturday, a day marred by the assassination of a Democratic lawmaker in Minnesota and conflict in the Middle East.

While the president contends that the L.A. protests against his immigration policy have been chaotic, the scenes are not as violent.
