Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents used riot gear as they clashed with protestors during a series of raids in Los Angeles where they ended up detaining more than 40 people. Separate raids by ICE agents earlier this week at a Home Depot and two separate clothing outlet stores drew crowds of protestors on Friday.

California governor and federal officials traded blame after ICE raids and a violent protest rocked the L.A.-area city of Paramount.

A local immigrant rights organization said more than 45 people were detained in the operations, which were described as “random sweeps.”
