That's a wrap on our live coverage for today. 

Here's what to look back on: 

• An ABC camera operator was hit with a less lethal round while filming the protests. It comes after ABC correspondent Lauren Day and her crew were tear-gassed by police as they used it to disperse crowds in the protests.

• Earlier today, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese spoke with the US administration about the "horrific" incident where another Australian journalist, Lauren Tomasi, was also hit with a rubber bullet.

• Protests have also sprung up in at least nine other US cities including New York, Philadelphia and San Francisco.

• As of today, around 1,700 National Guard troops have been deployed in Los Angeles. 

We'll bring you all the latest updates on ABC News.

Thanks for following along, see you next time!

Earlier we reported that an ABC camera operator had been hit with a less lethal round while covering the protests.

This follows an Australian journalist being shot in the leg with a rubber bullet while reporting on the protests earlier this week.

My colleagues Dannielle Maguire and Hanan Dervisevic have put together an explainer on the methods used to control the crowds.

Earlier, protesters confronted police near the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles.

Here are some pics of the confrontation.

Yet another media worker has been injured while covering the protests in LA.

An ABC camera operator was filming a group of protesters in the neighbourhood of Little Tokyo, who were pushing a large bin towards police when officers opened fire with less lethal rounds.

He was hit in the chest with what may have been a rubber or foam round but was thankfully wearing a Kevlar vest at the time.

He described the pain as "like being punched in the chest".

Spokesperson for the League of United Latin American Citizens, David Cruz, told News Radio earlier that the deployment of marines would "inflame" the situation in LA.

He says the community wants ICE out of California all together.

"They're weeding people out with Gestapo-style tactics — they're taking men, women and children and they're holding them in the basement of a federal building, no food, no water, they're held for 72 hours, there is no criminal background of these individuals," he told News Radio.

"They are paying taxes, they are going to school, they've bought homes here — these are people who have lived in the country for 10 to 15 years, all of a sudden they're a threat?"

 Cruz says he backs California Governor Gavin Newsom's threat to take the president to court over the deployment of the National Guard.

"We as an organisation of 96 years history in this country, we're going to support the governor and we'll gladly serve as the plaintiff in this case," he says.

More than 100 people were arrested in San Francisco over similar anti-ICE protests, and Cruz says it will spread further, particularly in states with large Latino populations.

"You're going to see Latino communities of essential workers, saying, 'Look, if we're not worthy of your protection under the constitution, we're not going to spend money, we're not going to work'.

"You do that for five days in America, it will bring the economy of this country to a grinding halt. [Trump] will have to do a stimulus just to kickstart it again."

Protests have also sprung up in at least nine other US cities including New York, Philadelphia and San Francisco. 

In Austin, Texas, police fired non lethal munitions and detained several people as they clashed with a crowd of several hundred protesters.

"What is happening effects every American, everyone who wants to live free, regardless of how long their family has lived here," Marzita Cerrato, a first-generation immigrant whose parents are from Mexico and Honduras told Reuters. 

Reporting with Reuters

For the first time since 1992, the US Marine Corps are being mobilised by the military to respond to street protests in the United States.

Tensions have been rising since President Donald Trump activated the National Guard on Saturday after protests erupted in response to immigration raids in Southern California.

The decision to deploy about 700 marines to Los Angeles has been described as a further escalation.

Although some marines receive training in riot response, retired military officers say it is a drastic move that raises concerns.

They say it was delivering a message that may not be entirely peaceful.

Here's Lauren Day describing what happened: 

It may seem we're in unprecedented circumstances, but this is not the first time the president has called upon the National Guard.
