Protesters have gathered in Southern California for the second straight day as a nationwide “Day Without Immigrants” movement got underway Monday.

Dozens of people waving mostly Mexican flags and some American flags while carrying pro-immigration signs gathered at City Hall in downtown Los Angeles before starting their march.

Sky5 was overhead around 11 a.m. as the march wound its way near West 1st Street and North Spring Street but not toward the freeway at that point, Rich Prickett reported.

A short time later, the Los Angeles Police Department posted on X that the demonstrators were blocking traffic at West Olympic Boulevard and South Figueroa Street, then at Grand and Cesar Chavez avenues and then at Grand Avenue and Temple Street.

“Expect long delays in the area,” police added.

Several protests against mass deportations erupted Sunday with demonstrators clogging streets and blocking the 101 Freeway at one point.

Several businesses were said to be supporting the “Day Without Immigrants” movement, closing their doors or giving employees paid time off, USA Today reported.

Sky 5 was over another demonstration in Orange County at 11:30 a.m. where a large group of protesters had gathered in the streets of Santa Ana to speak out against President Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration.

“Right outside the Santa Ana courthouse and Civic Center Plaza where we can see another couple hundred protesters that are out here rallying,” Prickett said.

The crowd was blocking an intersection but overall the protest appeared peaceful, he said.
