Hundreds of protesters who spent the Fourth of July in downtown Los Angeles to rally against the immigration raids that have roiled the region and the surge in federal funding approved this week to keep them going.

Southern California communities are canceling or rescheduling July 4th events as immigration arrests continue to spread fear across the region.

The threat of continued ICE raids has continued, prompting officials to express concern over the welfare of revelers congregating in large celebratory gatherings.
