U.S. President Donald Trump can keep his deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles, according to a court ruling, as protests against immigration raids look set to enter their second week in the strongest backlash since his return to power in January.

The development comes a day after an appeals court temporarily blocked a judge’s order that directed President Trump to return control of the California National Guard.

The bill would enable community raids, targeted removals and widespread detention camps that sweep up U.S. citizens and the undocumented alike.

Customs and Border Patrol confirmed it is providing "aerial support" to law enforcement efforts during the protests.

Actor John Leguizamo is among the celebrities who've commented on the protests, saying that "protesting is as American as apple pie."

Since the start of the protests, the Los Angeles Police Department has arrested 385 people, USA Today reported on Wednesday.

The downtown curfew encircles the downtown civic center, including City Hall, the main county criminal courthouse, LAPD headquarters and federal buildings.
