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.

Hundreds of people gathered at Washington Square Park in downtown City on Thursday, protesting the Trump administrations's raids on undocumented immigrants. Then they marched to the federal building.

Dozens of cities have held anti-ICE demonstrations over Trump's immigration crackdown since Los Angeles protests began.

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.

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.

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