Protests against the federal government’s plan to deport millions of undocumented immigrants began Sunday and continued into Monday across Los Angeles.
Protestors demonstrating against a planned increase in federal deportations blocked major downtown thoroughfares Sunday. The 101 Freeway was closed near Boyle Heights until 6 p.m., while Spring Street was closed from 1st Street to Temple Street until 1 p.m.
Videos of the demonstration show participants holding flags and signs opposing Trump administration immigration policies. Some people can be seen spray painting graffiti and setting off fireworks.
Around 6 p.m., authorities claimed that the event lacked necessary permits, and moved to clear demonstrators from the streets. Two hours later, a line of police was seen moving towards a group of protesters.
The demonstrations continued Monday, when a group gathered at City Hall in the late morning and proceeded to march through downtown L.A. A separate protest is also occurring outside Santa Ana’s federal courthouse.
A movement calling itself “A Day Without Immigrants” scheduled a walkout for Monday. Immigrant families were encouraged to call out of work, temporarily shutter their businesses, and refrain from sending their children to school.
The same protest was held during the first Trump administration, on Feb. 16, 2017. During that event, thousands of workers were reported to have participated.
Neither the protests nor the Day Without Immigrants Campaign appeared to have central leadership. Instead, social media posts from various accounts across Facebook, Instagram and X spread the message.
