On Independence Day, hundreds of demonstrators gathered in downtown Los Angeles to protest against immigration raids and federal budget bills. The protests, which included rallies against ICE and the Trump administration, saw multiple clashes between protesters and law enforcement. Activists utilized tactics such as blocking traffic on major bridges and late-night noise demonstrations to amplify their message. Despite the festive occasion, many participants expressed that there was little to celebrate as they demanded an end to ICE raids and sought immigration reform.
