Los Angeles, CA - Protests related to immigration policies turned violent Monday, with demonstrators damaging windows at the Los Angeles Police Department headquarters. The protests appear to stem from opposition to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and related federal policies.
Clashes between protesters and law enforcement occurred throughout the afternoon. Police responded to the vandalism with crowd control measures. Several arrests were made, according to LAPD sources.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has criticized President Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard to address immigration concerns.
