India, June 7 -- U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers conducted a series of raids across "multiple locations" in Los Angeles on Friday, reportedly taking dozens of people into custody while facing off with demonstrators.

At a Home Depot parking lot in the Westlake neighbourhood, not far from the city's centre, video footage captured agents sprinting after individuals as onlookers reacted in real time.

In downtown LA, a big crowd attempted to stop the authorities as they left in vans after detaining multiple people. Protestors were seen throwing things at the vehicles, and some blocked their exits.
