Protests are increasing across the United States against Donald Trump’s strict immigration policies, despite the deployment of troops in Los Angeles and the president’s promise never to let “the law of the streets rule America.”

More than 1,000 people once again peacefully protested on the streets of Los Angeles on Wednesday, ahead of a second night of a downtown curfew imposed by city authorities to prevent looting and vandalism.

“Overall, I would say everything is under control here at Ground Zero,” Lynn Sturgis, a 66-year-old retired teacher, told AFP in front of the federal government offices, the epicenter of the protests downtown.

“Our city is not burning or on fire at all, contrary to what our terrible leader wants you to believe,” she added.

Since last Friday, the country’s second-largest city has been the site of protests against the mass arrests of undocumented immigrants. These protests are generally peaceful but sometimes include stone-throwing at police, vehicle arson, and other violent acts.

Trump has threatened to deploy the National Guard in other Democratic-run states, but this does not seem to have intimidated protesters.

Protests against the U.S. government’s strict immigration policies also took place Wednesday in New York, St. Louis (Missouri), Indianapolis (Indiana), Raleigh (North Carolina), Denver (Colorado), and Spokane (Washington).

On Saturday, Donald Trump is set to attend a highly unusual military parade in Washington, organized to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, which also coincides with his 79th birthday.

On the same day, a nationwide movement called “No Kings” is going to organise rallies in hundreds of cities across the country to protest Trump’s policies.

Journalist Alina Kühnel, on Moldova 1 TV: Putin’s territorial claims, key factor in the stagnation of negotiations

Peace negotiations in Ukraine are at a standstill, largely due to Vladimir Putin's refusal to relinquish territorial claims, according to Deutsche Welle journalist Alina Kühnel. In an interview with Moldova 1 TV, she explained that while Europe is attempting to maintain strategic balance by providing military support to Ukraine, the United States is indicating a partial withdrawal, as Russia shows no signs of making concessions.
