Police on Friday announced that dozens of demonstrators were arrested after failing to disperse on the seventh day of anti-ICE protests in Downtown Los Angeles.
Los Angeles Police Department officers, along with multiple law enforcement partners, were called to the downtown area Thursday night following reports of criminal activity, the LAPD posted in its news release.
Police took one person into custody for allegedly pointing a laser at an airship and another for resisting a police officer.
Police said that 13 more were arrested for curfew violation, and 30 for failure to disperse, including one who had an outstanding warrant for robbery.
“During the crowd control situation, numerous less-lethal munitions were used,” the news release stated.
Despite nightly arrests, the acts of looting and vandalism that plagued the early days of the protests subsided with the implementation of the 8 p.m. curfew for Downtown L.A. on Tuesday.
The new measure will be tested this Saturday, as thousands are expected to participate in multiple demonstrations for what is being dubbed “No Kings Day” in opposition to the policies of the Trump administration.
