Hundreds gather for anti-ICE protest in downtown LA

Hundreds of people gathered for another anti-ICE protest in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday.
Tensions escalated on Friday night after the "ICE Out" protest also in downtown L.A.. Los Angeles police said eight people were arrested after demonstrators began to clash with officers and dispersal orders were issued.
Demonstrators hit the streets again on Saturday in protest of the Trump administration's immigrant actions. People are demanding federal agents to leave their neighborhoods.
This comes in the aftermath of the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota, which sparked national outrage.
An estimated 500 people gathered for Saturday's protest outside of City Hall. The protest was organized with a message to be peaceful, and was in accordance with the "ICE Out of Everywhere" national day of action.
The 50501 Women's March and Common Defense joined forces to organize Saturday's protest, with participants demanding Congress block funding to the Department of Human Services until federal ICE agents and Customs and Broder Patrol are removed from local communities. They say they hope the rally magnifies their voices for those who have lost their life in custody, as well as American citizens who have been killed while protesting.
"We're in the middle of something that has happened for years. This is a cycle that has happened. It happened with the Indian Removal Act and the Trail of Tears, this happened with Nazi Germany, this happened with the transatlantic slave trade. We are repeating history, and we have the power to stop the cycle and do something about it," said high school junior Ava Pributsky.
