California's Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom has asked a federal court to decide whether to stop the military from assisting the ICE agency against the protesters.
Brenda Olmos says at a press conference together with other mayors from the area that she herself has been hit by rubber bullets over the weekend.
You must stop these raids, she says.
The demonstrations that have spread to more parts of the US are expected to continue into the weekend and are expected to grow according to activists.
Many of the demonstrations have been peaceful, but others have led to clashes and hundreds of people have been arrested by police.
