Protesters confront federal agents in downtown Los Angeles

A large protest in downtown Los Angeles erupted following the fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal immigration officers, part of a nationwide call to action against increased immigration enforcement. Demonstrators gathered at LA City Hall and later clashed with federal agents outside the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building, leading to LAPD’s tactical alert and deployment of tear gas. Amid rising tensions, businesses participated in the National Day of Action, with some closing to show solidarity with immigrant rights. Mayor Karen Bass emphasized the importance of peaceful protest while urging safety among demonstrators.
