The riots, sparked by ICE raids that began on June 6, have entered their fifth day. More than 150 rioters have been arrested, and at least five LAPD officers and six California Highway Patrol officers have been injured.
In an effort to stop the chaos, President Donald Trump deployed 2,000 National Guard troops to the area on June 7, followed two days later by another 2,000 troops and 700 Marines.
ICE has made 118 arrests as the riots continue to unfold.
