Demonstrators opposing Trump's immigration crackdown block traffic in Los Angeles

Droves of protestors marched in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday, blocking a section of a major freeway in response to the immigration crackdown and deportation policies planned by President Donald Trump.

Videos and images shared on social media showed demonstrators flocking to downtown Los Angeles, waving Mexican flags and carrying signs opposing Trump's deportation policies.

In several posts on X, police called the demonstration "non-permitted," but noted that the protest was largely peaceful. Both police and the California Department of Transportation advised the public to avoid travel in downtown Los Angeles as the moving protest closed down the 101 Freeway in both directions.
