Following a chaotic weekend in Los Angeles, where thousands of protesters clashed with federal agents during demonstrations against immigration raids ordered by the Trump administration, Mexican officials said dozens of Mexican nationals were arrested and several others have already been deported as unrest continues across California.

Mexican Foreign Minister Juan Ramón de la Fuente said on Monday that 42 Mexican migrants — 37 men and five women — were arrested over the weekend.
