WASHINGTON, June 12 (Reuters) - Americans are divided over President Donald Trump 's decision to activate the military to respond to protests against his crackdown on migrants, with about half supportive of the move, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll that closed on Thursday.

With migrant communities already living in fear amid the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, ICE raids in downtown Los Angeles sparked days of protests.

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.

Nationwide protests against President Donald Trump coincided with his 79th birthday and a major military parade in Washington, D.C.

Protests against immigration officers are spreading beyond Los Angeles. Trump’s immigrant crackdown now includes ICE workplace quotas. Republicans are increasingly split over the deficit impact of Trump’s bill.

National protests are scheduled to take place all over the country, including more than 20 in Tennessee. The protests will take place on June 14, the same day as President Trump's birthday and the U.

The protest, which took place at Columbus City Hall, was to express support for immigrant communities and solidarity with protesters in Los Angeles.

An appeals court allowed Trump to keep the National Guard in L.A. The Trump administration denied involvement in Israel’s strikes on Iran. Kilmar Abrego García pleaded not guilty to human smuggling. A Smithsonian director resigned following Trump’s attempt to fire her.
