Agitators have taken to the streets of Los Angeles for the second night in a row to demonstrate against ICE and Homeland Security operations in the city. Well over 1,000 individuals participate in what has been labeled as an “ICE Out” rally.

The second night of protests began outside of LA City Hall, where demonstrators gathered wielding signs accusing proponents of mass deportations as racist, anti-Trump slogans, and many Latin American flags. Some were also seen holding signs supporting the Free Palestine movement.
As the crowd grew and the sun began to set, the group of agitators returned to the site of the previous night of rioting, where individuals destroyed property, pelted police with rocks, and vandalized the Metropolitan Detention Center.

DHS gave the protesters multiple orders to leave federal property as the crowd continued to surround the Metropolitan Detention Center. Another protester using a loudspeaker could be heard complaining that no one was joining in on her chant. DHS would eventually rush the crowd and arrest at least one protester.
HAPPENING NOW 🚨: DHS Police have issued a third and final warning to protestors on federal property, saying they must move back to the public sidewalk. More DHS agents see coming out from the garage ramp, dressed in tactical gear.
