The Los Angeles Police Department arrested hundreds of protesters over the last week during nightly demonstrations against the Trump administration’s intensifying efforts to deport people living illegally in the U.

ICE activity in downtown Los Angeles was part of an effort to serve warrants at a business believed to be involved in a slew of cross-border crimes.

With the downtown facing an 8 p.m. curfew, the Los Angeles police began using tear gas and crowd-control munitions to break up protests after issuing a dispersal order.
