Protests Erupt in Los Angeles as Federal Immigration Raids Lead to Over 40 Arrests

On Friday, more than 40 individuals were arrested in Los Angeles during a series of immigration enforcement actions by federal authorities, prompting protests outside a federal detention center. Demonstrators, including the president of SEIU California, clashed with police in riot gear, who used tear gas to disperse the crowd as they demanded the release of those detained. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials executed search warrants at multiple locations, including a clothing warehouse, where they alleged that the employer was using fictitious documents for workers.
