A group of protesters gathered Saturday near Pershing Square in opposition to the fatal shooting of a woman by an immigration agent.
Hundreds of demonstrators were seen holding signs denouncing the deadly shooting of Renee Nicole Good, who ICE officer Jonathan Ross killed on Wednesday in Minneapolis. In the aftermath of Good’s death, protests were held in Minneapolis and beyond, reaching Southern California.
Saturday’s protest, dubbed “ICE Out for Good,” was scheduled to take place from 2 to 4 p.m. in downtown Los Angeles. Similar events were set to take place in other participating cities.
A group of protesters continued to march through the city after the event ended.
The LAPD issued a dispersal order just after 6 p.m. in downtown Los Angeles. Law enforcement ordered the remaining protesters to leave the area near Alameda Street between Aliso and Temple Street.
NewsChopper4 was over the scene that showed several LAPD squad cars and officers lined up along Alameda Street in an attempt to push the group out.
At least one person was detained for battery on a police officer, according to the LAPD.
“The suspect had fled from the original incident and then returned,” wrote the LAPD on a post on X.
