Overview
- The anti-ICE protest, which began around noon Saturday, saw protesters attach silicone sex toys to the Metropolitan Detention Center fence in downtown Los Angeles.
- LAPD said the crowd moved into Alameda Street and blocked cars around 2:30 p.m., then declared an unlawful assembly at about 3:30 p.m.
- Police arrested five people for failing to disperse as they cleared the area by about 4 p.m.
- Video posted on X by the Frontlines TPUSA account showed the explicit displays, though a claim that the items were shipped from Minneapolis was not confirmed.
- The event fits a growing wave of anti-ICE demonstrations that intensified after deadly incidents in Minneapolis and followed a large March 28 rally in downtown L.A.
