Tensions escalated when protesters started clashing with officers outside the federal detention center following the "ICE Out" protest in downtown Los Angeles on Friday.

Demonstrators were seen throwing trash and debris at federal officers at the loading dock of the building.

Los Angeles police officers were called in to push the angry crowd back and restore order in the area.

In total, eight people were arrested during the chaos, according to LAPD.

One person was taken into custody for assault with a deadly weapon on an officer, one was arrested for a curfew violation, and six people were arrested for failure to disperse.

Hundreds of anti-ICE protesters rallied in downtown Riverside, one of many such demonstrations across Southern California and nationwide.

Hundreds of anti-ICE protesters rallied in downtown Riverside on Friday, one of many such demonstrations across Southern California and nationwide.

The peaceful protest was held on the steps of downtown's historic courthouse, with demonstrators holding signs that said "Solidarity is the only way we win" and "Only we can save us! We must resist!"

"Policies are important but people matter more," protester and Riverside resident Edith Guillen-Pereda told ABC7. "I think it's really important to send a message of 'I'm tired of being tired and I'm tired of hatred.'"

Anti-ICE protests are scheduled throughout Southern California on Saturday as a follow-up to Friday's nationwide "ICE Out of Everywhere National Day of Action."

"Everyday Americans are coming together to demand the immediate and permanent removal of ICE, DHS, CBP from communities at over 300 events nationwide." organizers with 50501 SoCal said. "The purpose of the system is what it does," 50501 National Press Coordinator Hunter Dunn said in a statement. "ICE exists to kidnap children, throw our neighbors into concentration camps, and execute Americans in the street. We must do more than simply abolish ICE: we must prosecute every single official complicit in their crimes against the American people."

Protestors set a dumpster on fire right outside the federal detention center in downtown Los Angeles, where many immigration detainees are being held.

Protestors set a dumpster on fire right outside the federal detention center in downtown Los Angeles, where many federal immigration detainees are being held.

Firefighters responded but then backed away when they were confronted by a handful of protestors still in the streets.

It took about 20 minutes before law enforcement re-deployed and chased the protestors away. By then, the fire had mostly burned itself out.

AIR7 video showed Los Angeles Fire Department firefighters returning to the scene around 11 p.m.

There was no evidence that the flames had spread to the building itself.

The fire happened in the same area where protesters clashed with federal agents earlier in the day.

AIR7 video shows protesters throwing objects at federal agents behind the federal building. At one point, video showed the crowd picking up the very dumpster that was later set on fire and moving it toward the loading dock of the building.

Tear gas was eventually deployed, and the majority of the crowd was moved further up the street.
