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

The Los Angeles Police Department has confirmed that a federal agent was injured when he was attacked during an anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protest in Downtown Los Angeles on Friday.

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

In several other posts updating the marching protesters’ progress, the department said demonstrators were blocking traffic, committing acts of vandalism, including at the Federal Building, and throwing items at police.

The department later wrote that “the suspects who attacked the Federal Agents were involved in the March.”

According to local media, the protest was part of a student strike.

Aerial video showed students stopping traffic as they walked down the street carrying American, Mexican and other flags.

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

It is unclear whether there have been any arrests.

Police did not specify which agency this agent worked for.
