3

From Fox NewsA group of roughly 1,000 “rioters” surrounded the Roybal Federal Building in Los Angeles on Saturday evening, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said.

DHS said the agitators were throwing rocks, bottles and cement blocks at police officers, and that two officers were receiving medical treatment after being struck by the debris.

Two rioters have been arrested for assaulting federal law enforcement, according to DHS.


In a post on X, DHS reported, “The Los Angeles Police Department is responding to the scene.“

“Law and order will prevail,” DHS added.

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has confirmed that “multiple” people were arrested after failing to disperse.

Portland police also made arrests for assault and criminal mischief after protests escalated outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Police declared an unlawful assembly and directed protesters away from the ICE facility.

“Police have observed criminal activity, including assault and criminal mischief, and will be making targeted arrests,” the Portland Police Bureau said in a post on X.

“If necessary, crowd control measures, including impact munitions or other physical force, may also be used if justified by law,” the bureau said.

The Daily Mail reports:

Protesters took their anger right to Trump’s doorstep with a demonstration in Mar-a-Lago, as well as outside one of his California golf courses where tempers flared and clashes erupted.

In Denver, another video posted to X showed a protest spiraling out of control as demonstrators moved onto a highway.

A line of agents could be seen advancing on several protesters while tossing smoke bombs in their direction, which the protesters then picked up and threw back.

Organizers expect the rally to go down as the ‘largest political protest’ in American history. Footage from cities across the nation revealed chaotic scenes involving protesters, federal agents and counter-protesters, with at least ten arrests reported so far.
