The standoff between protesters and law enforcement, including the National Guard and federal agents, shows no sign of letting up.
Officers deployed tear gas and fired pellet rounds into the crowd to disperse demonstrators.
While some protesters have retreated, many remain, and their numbers continue to swell as more people arrive.
The atmosphere remains tense, with both sides bracing for what comes next.
Over strenuous objection from local Democratic officials, National Guard troops arrived to the Metropolitan Detention Center on Alameda Street at about 4 a.m. Sunday, and by early afternoon were standing off against another crowd of protesters as the Los Angeles Police Department issued a Tactical Alert.
"@TheCalGuard 79th IBCT has deployed approximately 300 soldiers to 3 separate locations in the greater Los Angeles area. They are conducting safety and protection of federal property & personnel," the U.S. Northern Command posted at 9:07 a.m. Sunday.
