Federal agent injured in anti-ICE protest attack in downtown Los Angeles

A federal agent was injured after being attacked during an anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protest in Downtown Los Angeles on Friday, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed.

“LAFD responding to a Federal Agent who was injured during the incident,” the LAPD wrote on X before 1 p.m.

In several other posts updating the progress of the marching protesters, the department said the demonstrators had blocked traffic, committed acts of vandalism, including at the Federal Building, and had thrown items at police.

The department later wrote that the “Suspects who attacked the Federal Agents have blended into the March.”

The protest was part of a student walkout, according to local outlets.

The students could be seen in aerial video stalling traffic as they walked down a street holding up American, Mexican and other flags.

The protesters also waved signs that said things like “Honk if you hate Nazis” and “F—k Trump,” according to the California Post.

The agent was taken to a hospital in unknown condition.

It’s unclear if any arrests have been made.

Police didn’t specify what agency that agent worked at. 

Earlier this month, police issued a dispersal order for another student-led anti-ICE protest in downtown L.A.
