Tensions Rise as No Kings Protesters Clash with LA Police
Dozens of No Kings protesters arrested in Los Angeles after confrontation with police, who used pepper balls and teargas to disperse the crowd of about 150 people.
Tensions boiled over in the streets of Los Angeles on Saturday night as a group of No Kings protesters clashed with local police. Officers fired pepper balls and teargas into the crowd of around 150 demonstrators, leading to the arrest of dozens who refused to disperse.
The latest conflict is the latest in a series of confrontations that have taken place outside the Metropolitan Detention Center, which has become a focal point for protests since the Trump administration launched a crackdown on immigration in Los Angeles last year. Protesters have gathered regularly to voice their opposition to the administration's policies and demand an end to what they view as an unjust and inhumane system.
