The Los Angeles protests, which began as a reaction to immigration raids and the arrest of dozens of people, mainly immigrants, have sparked similar demonstrations around the country in recent hours.
Elsewhere in California, protests have popped up in Santa Ana — just southeast of LA — and San Francisco, further up the coast, where about 150 people were arrested on Sunday.
Police in New York City said they also arrested “multiple people” at anti-ICE protests, who had blocked vehicles in front of federal buildings on Monday.
A crowd gathered outside the ICE building in Atlanta on Monday afternoon to demand the release of detainees, according to video from CNN affiliate WSB.
Similar protests took place Monday in Louisville, Kentucky, and in Dallas.
Labor leaders in various locations called for the release of David Huerta, an influential union leader who was detained during the LA protests and later released on bond. The demonstrations for his release took place on Monday in cities like Boston, Pittsburgh, Charlotte, Seattle, Washington, DC, and several other states including Connecticut and New York.
