LA anti-ICE protest: Authorities clash with protesters on Independence Day; Alameda Street shuts down

On July 4th, a large protest against federal immigration enforcement in downtown Los Angeles led to a tense standoff. Demonstrators marched to the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building, chanting against immigration raids. As tensions rose, federal agents deployed less-lethal munitions, and police issued a dispersal order, eventually clearing the streets and restoring traffic after closures.
