In a significant development, a US judge on Thursday temporarily barred President Donald Trump from deploying Guard troops in Los Angeles.
Judge Charles Breyer ordered the Guard to return to the control of California Governor Gavin Newsom, who sued to restrict its activity. Breyer's order will take effect at noon on Friday.
Trump has ordered the deployment of roughly 4,000 Guard troops and 700 Marines to Los Angeles following protests over his stepped-up enforcement of immigration laws.
Police made 81 arrests on Wednesday, most for failing to disperse on the second night of a curfew in downtown Los Angeles. They say nearly 470 LA protesters have been detained or arrested since Saturday.
The protests intensified after Trump called up the Guard and have since spread to Boston, Chicago, Seattle and other cities. And more are scheduled for this weekend as Trump stages a military parade in Washington.
