The protests began Friday after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents carried out coordinated raids across Los Angeles, detaining dozens of workers at warehouses and other worksites. The arrests sparked immediate backlash, with demonstrators converging outside federal buildings, blocking freeways, and in some cases clashing with police.
Across the country, marchers similarly took to the streets in New York City in an anti-ICE protest that began in Foley Square, across from where immigration enforcement operations have been centered. Protests have have also been seen in San Francisco, Boston, Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta and more.
Karen Bass says the restrictions will be in force in downtown areas of the city from 8pm to 6am local time (4am to 2pm UK time).
