Hundreds gathered outside City Hall in Los Angeles to face off against riot police after a daytime march with drew 8,000 people.
Other rallies took place in Atlanta, Salt Lake City, Washington DC, and Phoenix, as the anti-Trump backlash continued to grow.
In Indianapolis, crowds chanted ‘kill the police’ as they threw rocks at officers in a separate protest.
In Portland, officers battled crowds for the fourth night in a row and were forced to resort to using flash grenades to control them.
The department revealed on Sunday that 71 people had been arrested throughout the night. They were transported to precincts on an arranged bus.
A police vehicle was also spray painted with an anti-Trump message. Among those arrested was an 18-year-old who was charged with possession of a concealed weapon.
