LAPD officers fired crowd‑control munitions, including tear gas, rubber bullets and less‑lethal rounds, into a large crowd outside the ICE office in downtown Los Angeles after declaring an unlawful assembly. Protesters refused dispersal orders and remained near the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building, reportedly throwing projectiles at officers. Police advanced, pushed and corralled demonstrators, making multiple arrests while journalists and bystanders reported injuries. The clashes followed days of anti‑ICE demonstrations tied to federal immigration raids, sparked vehicle fires and freeway blockades, and have drawn scrutiny and legal challenges over the department’s use of less‑lethal weapons and prompted a national debate.
