US EditionProtesters Clash with Federal Agents in Downtown Los Angeles
Protests escalated to clashes with federal agents involving tear gas and arrests amid a national day of action targeting immigration enforcement and ICE funding.
- On Friday, January 30, protesters clashed with federal agents outside the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles during a national day of action, with arrests made though numbers were not disclosed.
- Organizers said the action followed deadly shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, with University of Minnesota student groups calling for a National Shutdown to stop ICE funding.
- Shortly before 6 p.m., a crowd pushed a construction dumpster against the federal building's loading dock and set it on fire as federal agents deployed pepper balls and tear gas.
- The Los Angeles Police Department placed the city on tactical alert, while downtown traffic was blocked and local businesses closed in solidarity as officials assess damage.
- The demonstrations are part of a larger nationwide wave; Mayor Karen Bass wrote `I urge Angelenos to exercise that right safely and not give this administration an excuse to escalate` while LAPD Central Division said `We had hoped that demonstrations today would be peaceful, however, as you can see in this video, the violent agitators invited LAPD due to their actions`.
