With migrant communities already living in fear amid the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, ICE raids in downtown Los Angeles sparked days of protests.
Opponents of President Donald Trump's administration on Saturday are planning to rally in nearly 2,000 locations across the country, including many in Northern California.
The city acknowledged that the change could make it more difficult for some families to visit detained loved ones.
Some vehicles thought be those of agents were spray-painted with expletives, as were some exterior walls of the Whittier hotel.
The rallies, named "No Kings Day" to oppose what they see as a power grab by Trump, are expected to be the largest and most numerous protests since Trump's second term began, dwarfing the Hands Off protests in early April that drew as many as 1 million Americans to the streets at more than 1,000 rallies.
The protest comes before leaders vote on whether or not to pass a budget that is expected to lock new undocumented immigrants out of Medi-Cal.
Protests over President Trump's immigration enforcement raids and his mobilization of the Marines and National Guard in Los Angeles have spread to other major U.S. cities.
