By Omar Younis, Brad Brooks, Phil Stewart and Idrees Ali LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -U.S. Marines deployed to Los Angeles made their first detention of a civilian on Friday, the military said, part of a rare domestic use of its forces sent to the city after days of protests over immigration raids.

Alejandro Theodoro Orellana, 29, faces federal charges for allegedly “distributing face shields to suspected rioters” to protesters on June 11.

While the president contends that the L.A. protests against his immigration policy have been chaotic, the scenes are not as violent.

The ongoing protests in Los Angeles began with small demonstrations against immigration raids in the nation's second largest city.

Top Portland and Multnomah County leaders, law enforcement officials and several community leaders stood together Friday in advance of large planned protests to decry the immigration policies of the federal administration and affirm the laws in place to protect immigrants.

The Trump administration faces a legal challenge to its deployment of the military to protests. Tensions flared after President Trump sent troops, and protests spread to other U.S. cities.

U.S. President Donald Trump can keep his deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles, according to a court ruling, as protests against immigration raids look set to enter their second week in the strongest backlash since his return to power in January.

Customs and Border Patrol confirmed it is providing "aerial support" to law enforcement efforts during the protests.
