Activists plan more events Tuesday in New York, Chicago, Dallas and Atlanta.

The protests that roiled Los Angeles over the weekend were set to spread Tuesday across the country, as activists planned demonstrations in New York, Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta and elsewhere.

Rallies protesting ICE raids and the government’s immigration policies have spread across California and beyond this week. A series of so-called No Kings demonstrations are planned nationwide for Saturday.

Some 56 people were arrested in L.A. over the weekend as some 700 marines and more than 2,000 National Guard troops were deployed by Donald Trump in response to protests that began on Friday, sparking an extraordinary showdown with California Gov. Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, who strongly criticized the move as executive overreach.

    Your wife is an independent person and you shouldn’t be trying to make her do anything.

      Shes also as stubborn as I am. And a green card holder. My priority is her safety, not your up vote

        Again, you shouldn’t be trying to “make” her do anything. It has nothing to do with votes. You can try to convince her to do something.

          Kid, I don’t think you understand how little what you’re saying matters. Go judge someone else you don’t know
