Following a high-profile ICE raid at a downtown apparel manufacturing business, hundreds of protesters swarmed the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building. Demonstrators threw bottles and rocks at federal agents protecting the facility. In separate actions, a crowd of over 1,000 rioters surrounded a local retail center in Paramount, leading to a tactical police response that caused injuries to several protesters and officers.
