As a consequence of the violent riots led by the far left and illegal Mexican immigrants, a total of 27 people were arrested on Sunday in downtown Los Angeles, United States, according to the announcement made by the Chief of the Police Department (LAPD), Jim McDonnell, during a press conference held at night.
With these new arrests, 56 people have now been detained over the weekend. The violence from the protesters began a few days ago, when the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carried out numerous raids against illegal immigrants in the area, which triggered a violent response from the left.

McDonnell explained that among the crimes were the throwing of a Molotov cocktail at an officer and the use of a motorcycle to run over a line of officers. Of Sunday's arrests, 17 were carried out by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) while they were removing protesters blocking Highway 101, and the other 10 were made by the LAPD in the downtown area. On Saturday, another 29 people were arrested for disobeying police orders to disperse.
The protests began on Friday, after ICE confirmed the detention of 44 illegal immigrants, many of them with serious criminal records, in various operations conducted in several areas of Los Angeles.

During the riots, police reported that numerous vehicles were set on fire, fireworks were thrown at officers, barricades were erected using urban furniture, graffiti against ICE appeared in public spaces, and looting was reported in stores. In addition, two police officers were injured when protesters used a motorcycle to try to break a police line.
Due to this chaotic situation, President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of more than 2,000 troops from the National Guard in Los Angeles to contain the violent riots. The decision was strongly criticized by California's leftist governor, Gavin Newsom, who supports the looting and violence of the protesters.
In addition to the deployment of the National Guard, the United States Army Northern Command reported that 500 Marines from the 2nd Battalion of the 7th Marine Regiment, based in Twentynine Palms, are on alert and ready to intervene if deemed necessary.
