Police officers in Los Angeles, California, used flash-bang grenades to disperse a crowd protesting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids on Friday (June 6). The protests erupted following a series of ICE operations that led to the detention of at least 44 individuals suspected of immigration violations, according to NewsNation.

The protests began after federal agents conducted raids at several locations , including a Home Depot in the Westlake District and a clothing store in the Fashion District. Protesters clashed with agents, leading to tense standoffs. The situation escalated when the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) declared an unlawful assembly and authorized the use of less-lethal munitions, including flash-bang grenades and tear gas, to disperse the crowd.
