Demonstrations against the Trump administration's immigration policies continued for the third day in downtown Los Angeles, with high school students from several schools joining the protests. The demonstrations, which began on Sunday and caused traffic disruptions, saw a significant turnout of students on Tuesday, adding to the existing crowd of protesters.
For the third consecutive day, demonstrators continued to express their dissent against the Trump administration's immigration policies in downtown Los Angeles . The protests, which began on Sunday, saw a significant turnout of high school students from various schools across the city, including Marshall High School, James A. Garfield High School, and Bravo Medical Magnet School. These students joined the ongoing demonstrations, walking off campus midday to make their voices heard.
Aerial footage captured large groups of Boyle Heights students marching along sidewalks from Bravo Medical Magnet School towards city hall. While school officials urged students to remain on campus for their safety and encouraged them to express their views within school facilities, Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho encouraged students to participate in the protests while staying within the school premises. By 1 p.m. on Tuesday, a substantial number of protesters had gathered at city hall.The protests initially commenced on Sunday, with an estimated 3,000 demonstrators causing traffic disruptions by closing down the 101 Freeway for several hours. Police eventually declared an unlawful assembly and dispersed the crowd. The freeway was fully reopened by Sunday evening. During Sunday's incident, five LAPD officers sustained minor injuries, and two arrests were made: one for felony vandalism of an MTA bus and another for assault with a deadly weapon for throwing objects at officers. There were also four vandalism reports for damage to police vehicles, including slashed tires, and one crime report for pointing a laser at officers. On Monday, National Day of Action, demonstrators once again took to the streets of downtown Los Angeles, prompting a dispersal order from police in the early evening. LAPD officials stated that by the afternoon, the group had swelled to approximately 800 pedestrians and 200 vehicles. The California Highway Patrol intervened to block 'multiple attempts' made by demonstrators to access the 101 Freeway. By 2:15 p.m., protesters breached city hall barriers and continued vandalizing the area, setting off fireworks and burning out vehicles. Police reported that fireworks were being directed toward officers and projectiles were being thrown as the crowd grew to about 1,000. Two officers sustained minor injuries, but no arrests were made on Monday.
