The LAPD in a standoff with illegals protesting mass deportations, while blocking the 101 Freeway in downtown LA.
A large crowd gathered in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday in response to the recent increase in ICE raids and deportations. The protest initially began on Olvera Street, but grew to a few thousand people who marched to City Hall before walking onto the 101 Freeway. The California Highway Patrol’s Transportation Management Center reported that some protesters were blocking some lanes, though the CHP has not confirmed any closures. However, the California Department of Transportation District 7 reported on X that the 101 Freeway was closed in both directions between the 110 Freeway and Mission Road, advising drivers to avoid the area (CBS). Libs of TikTok: They shut down freeways and stop traffic in one of the most congested cities in the U.S. to try to convince us not to deport them. This isn’t gonna end well. Get ICE on scene ASAP (X).
NOW: Anti-ICE protesters are blocking both sides of the 101 Freeway near the Alameda Street exit in DTLA. The CHP has since closed that portion of the freeway. Read more: https://t.co/K60ImdzmDi pic.twitter.com/iO5ARSTyTL

LAPD riot control are finally taking on the illegal alien protest
Here’s my question
Why aren’t there ICE agents embedded with LAPD just arresting and deporting the illegals?

🚨 #BREAKING: LAPD has announced they will now be conducting MASS ARRESTS of the illegals blocking roads waving foreign flags
But that’s not enough! They MUST cooperate with ICE to allow these criminals to be MASS DEPORTED.

LAPD was about to make a major bust of pro-illegal alien protesters blocking major roads in Los Angeles.

Mayor Bass reportedly gave a “stand down order.”
The LAPD packed up their zip ties and went home without making arrests. Outrageous.
Hearing that LAPD rank and file who were down there are not happy about this apparent stand down order.
"Same old crap."
"Chasing these guys around all day for nothing." https://t.co/gzsHPrMP2P— Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) February 3, 2025
By: Daily Mail, February 3, 2025:
Protestors waving Mexican flags stormed the 101 Freeway and to block the roads and clash with cops in riot gear as darkness fell in Los Angeles on Sunday night.
Hundreds demonstrated against Trump’s sweeping deportation efforts and orders to expand migrant arrests just outside the Grammy Awards at the Crypto.com Arena – sparking scenes of defiance and chaos in the culturally diverse metropolis.
Police in riot gear stood shoulder to shoulder in an attempt to stop the protestors spreading down the road.
ADVERTISEMENTOfficers with the Los Angeles Police Department assisted by California Highway Patrol were eventually able to clear the freeway after five hours as protesters moved to downtown surface streets, but they soon returned on the major downtown artery.
At one stage, the LAPD announced they would be carrying out mass arrests of the protestors blocking roads and came armed with zip ties. But just as they were about to make arrests, all of the police officers left having been told to stand down.
The CHP and the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that no arrests were made.
Just as earlier in the day, protestors set about disrupting traffic and managed to block the crucial freeway.
The protestors could be seen lining up across the width of the road as the headlights of frustrated motorists began to pile up behind them.
By the afternoon, marchers had blocked all lanes of U.S. 101, causing traffic to back up in both directions and on surface streets.
The demonstrators sat down in lanes, while a cordon of California Highway Patrol officers stood by.
It took more than five hours for the freeway to fully reopen, CHP Lt. Matt Gutierrez said Sunday evening.
‘The real criminal is in the White House!’ read one protester’s sign.
‘MAGA – Mexicans always get across,’ another stated while one boldly declared, ‘Jesus said ‘Love Thy Neighbor,’ not deport them.’
By late morning, thousands of demonstrators gathered near City Hall, their chants echoing through downtown just ahead of the 67th Grammy Awards taking place at the nearby Crypto Arena.
The protest intensified when a large group of marchers took over the 101 Freeway at the Alameda Street exit, grinding traffic to a halt and sending shockwaves through the city.
