Why riots erupted in Los Angeles after ICE raids, and what happened next
Here's a quick guide to what is going on:
Everything began on Friday when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers executed search warrants at multiple locations, including outside a clothing warehouse in the city's fashion district.
A judge had found probable cause that the employer was using fictitious documents for some of its workers, according to representatives for Homeland Security Investigations and the US Attorney's Office.
A tense scene unfolded outside as a crowd tried to block agents from driving away.
Advocates for immigrants' rights said there were also migration detentions outside Home Depot stores and a doughnut shop.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said the ICE operations in Los Angeles resulted in the arrest of 118 immigrants, including five people linked to criminal organisations and people with prior criminal histories.
The president of Service Employees International Union California, David Huerta, was arrested and charged with impeding a federal agent while protesting, the US Attorney's office said.
The chief program officer for the Immigrant Defenders Law Centre said the organisation was aware of one man who was already deported back to Mexico.
Dozens of protesters gathered on Friday evening outside a federal detention centre in Los Angeles where lawyers said those arrested had been taken, chanting "set them free, let them stay!"
Other protesters held signs that said, "ICE out of LA!" while others led chants and shouted from megaphones. Some scrawled graffiti on the building's facade.
Officers holding protective shields stood shoulder to shoulder to block an entrance.
Some tossed tear gas canisters to disperse the crowd.
Officers wearing helmets and holding batons forced the protesters away from the building by forming a line and walking slowly down the street.
Protests continued on Saturday.
Border Patrol personnel in riot gear and gas masks stood guard outside an industrial park in the city of Paramount, deploying tear gas as bystanders and protesters gathered on medians and across the street.
Some jeered at officers while recording the events on smartphones.
"ICE out of Paramount. We see you for what you are," a woman said through a megaphone.
One handheld sign read, "No Human Being is Illegal."
Smoke rose from burning shrubbery and rubbish in the street, and demonstrators kicked at a Border Patrol vehicle.
A boulevard was closed to traffic as Border Patrol agents circulated through a community where more than 80 per cent of residents identify themselves as Latino.
The California Highway Patrol said Governor Gavin Newsom had directed the agency to deploy additional officers to "maintain public safety" on state highways and roads and the agency will work to "keep the peace."
Acting director of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement department, more commonly known as the border czar, Tom Homan told Fox News on Saturday night the National Guard would be deployed in Los Angeles.
US President Donald Trump said he would send 2,000 California National Guard troops to the protests.
The National Guard is a state-based military force that is part of the military reserves.
Typically, they are deployed on state-based missions during natural disasters.
California Governor Gavin Newsom called the decision "purposefully inflammatory."
Mr Trump wrote on Truth Social: "If Governor Gavin Newscum, of California, and Mayor Karen Bass, of Los Angeles, can't do their jobs, which everyone knows they can't, then the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem, RIOTS & LOOTERS, the way it should be solved!!!"
Either the state governor or the president or the secretary of Defense can deploy the National Guard.
Mr Newson has the primary authority to deploy the guard on a state level, under state active duty or Title 32 status, where the state would bear the cost.
An example of this was during the 1992 Los Angeles riots.
The guard would typically be deployed by the president or defence secretary for national emergencies, homeland defence, or federal missions under Title 10, where they take on the cost.
However, they can also control the guard under the 1807 Insurrection Act when a state is unable to manage civil unrest, which former president George HW Bush did during the 1992 Los Angeles riots.
Yes.
Mr Trump and his administration have promised mass deportations across the country.
The White House set a goal for ICE to arrest at least 3,000 immigrants a day.
Mr Trump is also trying to remove birthright citizenship, which allows most residents born in the US the right to citizenship, including the children of undocumented immigrants.
On top of that, Mr Trump is working to suspend habeas corpus, the constitutional right for people to legally challenge their detention by the government.
One man has already been wrongly sent to detention in El Salvador, while an Australian woman was denied entry into the US despite having a valid tourist visa.

NVA gets critical show of support for Estelle
The Nova Board of Directors has met with Alaskan lawmakers, tribal representatives and advocacy groups, who all offered strong support for the company's Estelle gold and critical minerals project. Estelle's potential aligns with Executive Order 14153 which directs immediate measures to increase American mineral production. Nova has placed itself on a trajectory mirroring that of MP Materials and Perpetua Resources, both of which have secured major US Department of Defense grants to fast-track the production of critical minerals. Special Report: Nova Minerals has strengthened ties with key Alaskan lawmakers and stakeholders in the past week during a board of directors visit to its Estelle gold and critical minerals project. The company has been drilling around the clock during the Alaskan summer to push Estelle's mineral resource estimate past 9.9Moz and define a resource of critical mineral antimony. Also during the almost 24 hour sunlight the Nova (ASX:NVA) board has been warmly received by federal representatives, state and local leaders, tribal organisations and advocacy groups who expressed unified support for advancing Estelle. VIP visits During their visit board members met representatives of Alaska's Congressional Delegation, including the offices of US Senators Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan, and US representative for Alaska Nick Begich, who expressed ongoing backing for Nova's efforts to fast-track Estelle's development. Nova additionally received a strong show of local support during an event at Port MacKenzie attended by more than 25 Alaskan leaders including Borough Mayor Edna DeVries, leaders from the Knik Tribe, state legislators and representatives from the Alaska Miners Association and Friends of West Susitna. The Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority also provided project updates on the West Susitna Access Road during the board visit. This new road will provide critical infrastructure that will support Estelle and regional development. Nova is increasingly aligned with US Executive Order 14153, 'Unleashing Alaska's Extraordinary Resource Potential', which outlines actions to bolster American mineral production. This positions Nova to follow the path of MP Materials (market cap ~A$16 billion) and Perpetua Resources (market cap ~A$2.4 billion), which have both secured significant US Department of Defense (DoD) grants for critical mineral supply chain initiatives. Following a positive technical site assessment by the DoD's critical materials team, Nova is continuing engagement with the DoD as Estelle moves toward becoming a near-term producer of gold and antimony. Nova CEO Chris Gerteisen said: 'We're starting to see the kind of momentum that propelled companies like MP Materials and Perpetua Resources to secure major federal support. 'With our recent positive assessment from the (US) Department of Defense - and with gold and antimony prices near record highs - we're optimistic that Nova is well-positioned to be a key part of building a secure, domestic supply chain. 'We remain deeply grateful for the support we've received at every level and are committed to advancing this project responsibly and swiftly. Our team is humbled by the opportunity and focused on delivering long-term value for Alaska, the United States and our allies.' Critical hub During the Port MacKenzie event, Nova presented its long-term vision for a potential processing hub in Alaska and highlighted the significance of recent discoveries. Congressional representative Nick Begich expressed strong support, which was echoed by other leaders who met the board: 'Partnerships like these are crucial for responsible resource development in Alaska and advancing plans for a Nova Minerals processing hub at Port MacKenzie will deliver important economic benefits for Alaska and support our long-term workforce development for Alaska's hardworking families,' Begich said. On road to growth Out in the field at Estelle exploration is continuing at the Stibium antimony-gold prospect, the high-grade RPM North deposit. Drilling in the Korbel starter pit area has already been completed, with samples to be sent to the laboratory for analysis shortly. Also underway are other exploration mapping and sampling, environmental baseline studies, access road projects and various technical studies, all of which will go towards completing the pre-feasibility study. Nova's board has since departed Alaska for further stakeholder engagement in New York City and Florida.

Europe hopes for 'no surprises' as US weighs force withdrawals
After keeping Donald Trump happy with a pledge to up defence spending at NATO's summit, Europe is now bracing for a key decision from the US president on the future of American forces on the continent. Washington is currently conducting a review of its military deployments worldwide -- set to be unveiled in coming months -- and the expectation is it will lead to drawdowns in Europe. That prospect is fraying the nerves of US allies, especially as fears swirl that Russia could look to attack a NATO country within the next few years if the war in Ukraine dies down. However, the alliance is basking in Trump's newfound goodwill following its June summit in The Hague, and his officials are making encouraging noises that Europe will not be left in the lurch. "We've agreed to no surprises and no gaps in the strategic framework of Europe," said Matthew Whitaker, US ambassador to NATO, adding he expected the review to come out in "late summer, early fall". "I have daily conversations with our allies about the process," he said. While successive US governments have mulled scaling back in Europe to focus more on China, Trump has insisted more forcefully than his predecessors that the continent should handle its own defence. "There's every reason to expect a withdrawal from Europe," said Marta Mucznik from the International Crisis Group. "The question is not whether it's going to happen, but how fast." When Trump returned to office in January many felt he was about to blow a hole in the seven-decade-old alliance. But the vibe in NATO circles is now far more upbeat than those desperate days. "There's a sanguine mood, a lot of guesswork, but the early signals are quite positive," one senior European diplomat told AFP, talking as others on condition of anonymity. "Certainly no panic or doom and gloom." - 'Inevitable' - The Pentagon says there are nearly 85,000 US military personnel in Europe -- a number that has fluctuated between 75,000 and 105,000 since Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. "I think it is inevitable that they pull out some of their forces," a second European diplomat told AFP. "But I don't expect this to be like a dramatic overhaul. I think it's going to be gradual. I think it's going to be based on consultations." Trump's first target is likely to be the troops left over from a surge ordered by his predecessor Joe Biden after Moscow's tanks rolled into Ukraine. Officials say relocating the rump of that 20,000-strong deployment would not hurt NATO's deterrence too much -- but alarm bells would ring if Trump looked to cut too deep into personnel numbers or close key bases. The issue is not just troop numbers -- the US has capabilities such as air defences, long-range missiles and satellite surveillance that allies would struggle to replace in the short-term. "The kinds of defence investments by Europe that are being made coming out of The Hague summit may only be felt in real capability terms over many years," said Ian Lesser from the German Marshall Fund think tank. "So the question of timing really does matter." - 'Inopportune moment' - Washington's desire to pull back from Europe may be tempered by Trump now taking a tougher line with Russia -- and Moscow's reluctance to bow to his demands to end the Ukraine war. "It seems an inopportune moment to send signals of weakness and reductions in the American security presence in Europe," Lesser said. He also pointed to Trump's struggles during his first term to pull troops out of Germany -- the potential bill for relocating them along with political resistance in Washington scuppering the plan. While European diplomats are feeling more confident than before about the troop review, they admit nothing can be certain with the mercurial US president. Other issues such as Washington's trade negotiations with the EU could rock transatlantic ties in the meantime and upend the good vibes. "It seems positive for now," said a third European diplomat. "But what if we are all wrong and a force decrease will start in 2026. To be honest, there isn't much to go on at this stage." del/ec/jxb/tc

Federal Coalition dumps Dutton-era stance on migration
The Coalition has vowed to adopt a radically different approach to migration, spearheaded by a Queensland senator who wants to focus on the 'positive role' it plays to the country. New shadow immigration minister Paul Scarr will draw on his long history of engaging with multicultural and diaspora communities as he looks to hold Labor to account, and build policies based on empathy, empowerment and admiration in the lead up to the next federal election. While the Coalition conducts a wide-ranging review on all policies, the Queenslander said 'we can do a better job in terms of discussing these issues', and wants a greater focus on the shared values of migrant communities with that of the Coalition. 'We are a party that believes passionately in the fundamental freedoms of the individual, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of association. So many of our migrants come from places where they didn't have those freedoms,' he said. As shadow multicultural affairs minister, he added he was 'passionate about empowering our multicultural communities'. 'The more I've worked with our different communities across Queensland, the deeper my respect and admiration for the people who've come from very difficult circumstances and found their way here and are making an outstanding contribution,' he said. Immigration was a hot button Coalition policy under former leader Peter Dutton, who linked the post-pandemic migration spike with the housing crisis, and in the lead-up to the election pledged dramatic cuts to permanent and net overseas migration. An ANU pre-election report found migration numbers were 'being weaponised during (the) campaign to elicit panic and sway voters', when the reality told a different story. Senator Scarr says when it comes to the nexus between migration and housing, blame must be attributed to the government, not the people. 'It's important to make it clear that we're talking about the failure of the government to plan appropriately, to have the right policy settings, and the failure of the government to manage the settings appropriately,' he said. 'It is not the fault of anyone who comes to the country seeking a better life for them and their family.' After losing ground with communities in the 2022 election, some within the Coalition believe Mr Dutton's at-times inflammatory language further alienated multicultural voters who punished them at the polls in May. But Senator Scarr, whose commitment to multiculturalism traces back to his pre-politics career as a lawyer in Papua New Guinea and later with a mining company with a presence in Laos, is adamant the Coalition can 'absolutely' get those voters back. 'We can have success if we put the work in and spend the time with those communities,' he said, adding he had met with multiple community leaders since the election. Liberal strategist Tony Barry said the party too often saw the country 'as we want it to be and not as it is'. 'We need to demonstrate to these communities that our values are also their values – choice, personal responsibility and reward for effort,' he said.
