Protestors gathered in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday to demonstrate against President Trump’s immigration crackdown and deportation policies. The crowd marched from Olvera Street to City Hall, blocking a section of the 101 Freeway. The protest was organized by residents and promoted on social media, attracting a large crowd waving Mexican flags and carrying signs opposing Trump’s policies. The protest was described as “non-permitted” by police but was largely peaceful, with no arrests or injuries reported.
Similar protests against Trump’s immigration policies took place across the country over the weekend, including in Florida, Arkansas, Missouri, Texas, and Georgia. Demonstrators gathered to show support for undocumented immigrants and oppose mass deportations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Trump signed multiple executive orders related to illegal immigration and refugee admissions immediately after taking office, sparking widespread protests.
ICE has been conducting a growing number of raids under Trump’s orders, leading to nearly 1,000 arrests daily. The agency has also been publicizing its arrests on social media. These demonstrations are part of a larger national movement against Trump’s immigration policies, with protestors advocating for the rights and protection of undocumented immigrants. Many passing motorists showed support for the protestors by honking and providing solidarity messages.
