Protests continue in DTLA.
As a response to ICE raids throughout the city, protesters gathered downtown to express their discontent with the enforcement actions taken by the Federal government. Karen Bass released a statement on which she said, “Deploying federalized troops on the heels of these raids is a chaotic escalation.” The federal government has deployed National Guard troops to help quell any violence. Chronicle staff on the ground commented that there didn’t seem to be a unified message among the protesters and many of the protesters were chanting “kill yourself” to the police and National Guard.
