Nationwide protests take place Friday as part of a “National Shutdown” in response to immigration actions in Minnesota.
The mostly peaceful protest took a turn as day turned to night in downtown Los Angeles and the crowd refused to disperse.
LAPD declared a citywide tactical alert and a dispersal order was issued as officers formed skirmish lines near the federal building.
