KABC reported:
Immigration enforcement agents carried out raids in Los Angeles Friday, prompting gatherings of protesters who at one point clashed with authorities.
At one scene in downtown Los Angeles, a crowd of people tried to prevent authorities from leaving in vans after multiple people were detained.
Protesters could be seen throwing objects at the vehicles, while others tried to block the vans from leaving. One person was nearly run over when they fell to the ground after getting in front of one of the vehicles.
Immigration enforcement agents were spotted at two separate locations in the morning, including a Home Depot store in the Westlake District.
A witness who spoke with Eyewitness News outside the store said several people, including men and women, some of whom are street food vendors, were detained.
