The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) declared a citywide tactical alert on Sunday in response to escalating anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid protests in the city. “The City of Los Angeles is on Tactical Alert,” the LAPD said on X, platform formerly known as Twitter.

Los Angeles faced a day of riots Friday after a new wave of federal Immigrations and Customs Enforcement operations, resulting in violence and the deployment of riot police. Videos show rioters using hammers to break off concrete from nearby structures to create projectiles to hurl at officers.
