The anti-Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) riots in Los Angeles have caught the nation's attention for several days. Now, similar events have cropped up or are being planned in other cities across the country.
According to Newsweek, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) has said its members will hold rallies in over a dozen cities across the country following the arrest in Los Angeles of one of its members, David Huerta.
A Newsweek map showed demonstrations occurred in 17 cities Monday, most of them on the West and East Coasts.

On "Washington Watch" Monday, Representative Tim Burchett (R-Tennessee) said he saw an ABC News report about "peaceful protesters" who were gathered "enjoying a car burning." According to the news outlet, the police presence was just escalating the problem.
"It's just disgusting," he told show host Tony Perkins, joking that "when the Burchetts want to have fun, we go to a good car burning."
He called it a signal "of how far the country is slipping off into the abyss and how the traditional media is losing its grip on reality."
Trump's response
President Donald Trump has federalized National Guard troops in California, about 2,000 of them, to assist local law enforcement, much to the disappointment of Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, both Democrats.
Hundreds of U.S. Marines were expected to arrive and assist in Los Angeles Tuesday, according to the U.S. Military's Northern Command headquarters at Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado.
"There are approximately 1,700 soldiers from the 79th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, a California National Guard unit in a Title 10 status, in the greater Los Angeles area," a Northern Command news release said.
"The activation of the Marines is intended to provide Task Force 51 with adequate numbers of forces to provide continuous coverage of the area in support of the lead federal agency," the release explained.
Task Force 51 is U.S. Army North's Contingency Command Post, which provides a rapidly deployable capability to partner with civil authorities and Defense entities in response to a Homeland Defense and Homeland Security Operations. It is commanded by Maj. Gen. Scott M. Sherman.
Task Force 51 is comprised of roughly 2,100 National Guard soldiers and 700 active-duty Marines with training in de-escalation, crowd control, and use of force.
Riot gear provided
There have been no monetary figures released so far, but the riots have caused significant damage from looting, vandalism, and arson. Local business owners are outraged as looters continue to target downtown stores.
Late Monday, a "mystery donor," in The Daily Mail's words, was seen passing out gas masks and riot shields from the back of a pick-up truck to protesters as National Guard troops were positioned nearby.
The donor appeared to be traveling with a group of masked individuals, Fox 11 of Los Angeles reported.
"We have got to put this down as fast as possible," Rep. Burchett told Perkins. "Now they're calling for these [protests] all over the country. It will be a different time, I think."
He said federal help for the cost of rebuilding from these damaging riots varies, but there are some avenues, such as the Disaster Relief Fund. Most of the responsibility falls to local and state governments, but in this case, the cost of fixing what has broken it will ultimately fall to taxpayers.
"This is a communist-type tactic," said Burchett. "They don't care anything about our way of life. They attack our values; they attack everything we stand for, and then they riot and loot and do those kind of things."
"I would say if you're a member of the law enforcement community in California, you would be feeling very low right now," he continued. "I would say the morale is not very good."
With that in mind Burchett believes a forceful response – like one U.S. Marines could provide – is welcome and necessary.
"I hope they do send in the National Guard and, if necessary, the Marines," he told Perkins. "When you stand by and let it go, that just enhances it that much more. It encourages it."
"I'm sick of this kind of thing," the House rep. confessed.
