On January 31, 2026, thousands of protesters converged on downtown Los Angeles and clashed with federal agents outside the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building where ICE detainees are held. Video and reports say rioters damaged a security kiosk, smashed windows, and pushed a large dumpster against the loading‑dock exit to barricade federal officers. Agents responded with tear gas, pepper balls and other crowd‑control measures; police declared the assembly unlawful and made arrests. The confrontation followed a day of nationwide “ICE Out” actions and prompted local officials and federal agencies to issue statements as the situation remained active into the night. (abc7.com)
