Clashes in the Los Angeles area between federal agents and people protesting immigration raids resulted in dozens of arrests from various law enforcement agencies on suspicion of attempted murder, looting, arson, failure to disperse, assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer and other offenses. Here’s a look at how the events unfolded:
FRIDAY
Morning: Department of Homeland Security agents detained several people outside a Home Depot just west of downtown Los Angeles. A little later, another raid took place at the Ambiance Apparel clothing store in L.A.’s Fashion District. During that operation, people gathered to photograph and take video of the agents. A few protesters also arrived. At least 44 people were arrested.
Afternoon: Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Los Angeles Federal Building, calling for an end to immigration raids in the city.
3 p.m.: Dozens gathered in the Fashion District after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents appeared at an apparel manufacturer there.
6:30 p.m.: More than 100 people gathered at the immigration services building and detention center in downtown Los Angeles to protest the raids. DHS officers fired pepper balls at the protesters before the Los Angeles Police Department dispersed the crowd.
SATURDAY
9 a.m.: Border Patrol agents gathered in a gated industrial office park in Paramount, a Latino suburb south of downtown Los Angeles. Separate clashes broke out between protesters and law enforcement officers in Paramount amid rumors that immigration agents planned to raid a Home Depot in the area. Protesters kicked and threw objects at law enforcement vehicles, while officers deployed tear gas.
Later that day: Tensions escalated and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department ordered protesters to disperse and warned they would face arrest or use of force if they did not. Officers shot tear gas canisters into the crowd as protesters retreated.
4 p.m.: Social media posts showed police and sheriff’s deputies declaring the gathering an unlawful assembly and using loudspeakers to tell protesters that anyone who remained would be arrested.
6 p.m.: President Donald Trump ordered 2,000 National Guard members to deploy in Los Angeles to protect federal officers conducting immigration operations over the objections of Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.
Nightfall: Protesters and the LA County Sheriff’s Department continued to clash in Compton, across the Los Angeles River from the Home Depot in Paramount. Officers shot flash-bang grenades and rubber bullets at the protesters, who threw rocks, glass bottles and fireworks at the officers.
Evening: Protesters gathered outside the Metropolitan Detention Center. The Los Angeles Police Department created a barrier outside the building and declared an unlawful assembly, ordering demonstrators to disperse.
SUNDAY
Early morning: Roughly 20 California National Guard troops arrived at the Metropolitan Detention Center.
10:30 a.m.: Nearly 300 members of the California National Guard took positions at three different sites around the city. More than a dozen DHS officers in riot gear joined the National Guard troops at the detention center. By early afternoon, hundreds of protesters had gathered there.
1 p.m.: California National Guard, DHS and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers formed a line and attempted to clear protesters away from the Metropolitan Detention Center. Officers deployed tear gas, pepper balls and other crowd-control munitions.
Midafternoon: Protesters spilled onto nearby 101 Freeway, blocking traffic in at least one direction before being cleared by the authorities.
