Trump directs ICE to expand deportations in Democratic-run cities, including Los Angeles

A protester was shot in the eye during the "No Kings Day" rally in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday. Now, he says he's not sure if he'll get his vision back in his right eye.

The protester said the rally was peaceful until it suddenly got ugly. Now, as he recovers in the hospital, he's not sure if he'll get his vision back in his right eye.

The protests remained peaceful until bricks and bottles were thrown at officers, according to LAPD. Several law enforcement officers and protesters were injured when officers went in to break up the protest Saturday afternoon.

"They just started opening fire on us, just spraying an obscene amount of rubber bullets just everywhere," Marshall Woodruff said.

Woodruff says the rally was peaceful until it suddenly got ugly, and that's when he says he was hit by rubber bullets fired by local law enforcement.

"The bullet fractured my cheek, and it tore part of my eye open, and I had to go into surgery for about four hours or five hours to get it repaired that night," Woodruff said. "And it's questionable how much vision I'm going to be able to get back or how much I'm going to be able to see out of my right eye. Right now, it's just a giant question mark."

Woodruff said someone helped him get to an LAPD vehicle after he was shot. The officers put him in a car and drove him to an ambulance, which then took him to the hospital.

LAPD and the sheriff's department say their officers were assaulted with water bottles and bricks. They declared an unlawful assembly and went in to break up the protests. According to LAPD, there were several officers injured, too.

Woodruff's friends set up a GoFundMe account to help pay for his medical bills.

Day laborers in a parking lot of a Home Depot in Upland were targeted by ICE agents, as immigration enforcement operations continue across SoCal.

Day laborers in a parking lot of a Home Depot in Upland were targeted by ICE agents on Monday, as immigration enforcement operations continue to be carried out across Southern California.

"A friend took off running. He crossed the avenue. The good thing is that no one hit him because of the heavy traffic," said one of the day laborers on camera. "We don't know if they caught him or not."

The Day laborers said they were asked to show their green cards by authorities in unmarked trucks.

Last week, a similar scene unfolded at a Home Depot in Huntington Park, prompting protests.

"I would like to remind the public and even ICE themselves, day laborers are only looking for work. Please focus your resources on people that are actually dangerous."

It was not immediately known if anyone was detained during Monday's immigration operation in Upland.

Tensions in Southern California could flare up again as President Donald Trump pushes to expand the ICE raids that triggered days of protests, and local businesses are caught in the middle of it all.

Tensions in Southern California could flare up again as President Donald Trump pushes to expand the ICE raids that triggered days of protests, and local businesses are caught in the middle of it all.

While Trump posted a long missive in which he says he'll expand immigration raids to cities like Chicago and New York, in Los Angeles, the cleanup continues.

The Little Tokyo area in downtown L.A. was the hardest hit by the anti-ICE protests. The small businesses here are paying the price.

"We lost about 50% to 60%... that's a huge amount," said Rico Alsaffarini, who has owned Mike's Deli for the past 15 years.

The demonstrations over the last couple of weeks haven't just cost him lost business, but he also has to replace his windows. His neighboring business has had its windows boarded up for nearly a week now.

"It's money wasted and it seems like I'm closed," said Cos Trujillo, from Aid & Abet Bail Bonds.

Trujillo said his bail bond business had already been suffering since the COVID-19 pandemic. He says the recent protests have made things even worse, which is frustrating since his own grandfather immigrated here from Mexico.

"I support them 100%. I brought my family to come to the protest on Saturday, and we marched, peacefully," said Trujillo. "So it's frustrating to see these kids that come after the protests, that are peaceful protests for the most part, and they come and destroy property and vandalize."

Signs hang throughout Little Tokyo professing the community's deep ties to immigration. But that message didn't even keep the Los Angeles Immigration & Photo Services business from getting tagged.

For many of the business owners caught in the middle, supporting the protest against immigration raids is getting harder as they deal with more and more damage.

"Please, please do not destroy or vandalize our community," Trujillo said.

Since June 7, LAPD has made 575 protest-related arrests, including 14 for looting.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass on Monday reduced the curfew hours for downtown L.A. following what her office is calling "successful crime prevention and suppression efforts."

The curfew will be in effect from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., in the DTLA zone bounded by the 5, 10 and 110 freeways.

"The curfew, coupled with ongoing crime prevention efforts, have been largely successful in protecting stores, restaurants, businesses and residential communities from bad actors who do not care about the immigrant community," Mayor Bass said. "Today, I am narrowing the curfew as we continue to quickly adjust to changing posturing out of Washington. I want the Downtown Los Angeles community of residents, business owners and events venues to know that my priority will continue to be ensuring safety, stability and support in the Downtown neighborhoods."

"We're committed to supporting Downtown L.A. residents, small businesses, and workers while standing proudly with our immigrant communities and peaceful demonstrators who make our city vibrant and strong," said Councilmember Ysabel Jurado, who represents neighborhoods within the curfew area. "Pushing the curfew start time is a step in the right direction."

The curfew area covers downtown Los Angeles and represents less than eight square miles of the city. Hundreds of officers from various law enforcement agencies across the region and state collaborated with the LAPD over the weekend for the No Kings Day protests.
