Protests that started Thursday in Southern California amid reports of ICE immigration sweeps endured through the weekend. Some were peaceful and focused. Others erupted into clashes with law officers, violence, blocked roadways and chaos.
At least 40 people were arrested during anti-immigration-enforcement protests in Los Angeles Sunday night, June 8, and into Monday morning, June 9, authorities said.
The protests in Downtown L.A.escalated Sunday when demonstrators vandalized and torched multiple autonomous vehicles. Besides the six or so Waymo taxis set afire, others were spray-painted with anti-Trump and anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement messages.
More peaceful protests, however, were reported in multiple communities, including Pasadena and Long Beach.
Here are a collection of scenes from many of the protests over the weekend.
