In what could quickly become a dangerous, out of control situation, pro-illegal alien protesters marching in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday have completely mobbed the 101 Freeway, shutting down the traffic on both sides. And the LA police are nowhere to be seen.

Watch:

BREAKING: Protests that broke out at Placita Olvera near Downtown Los Angeles have turned to protestors blocking traffic on both sides of the 101 freeway (near Alameda exit), graffiti tagged up on the walls & a car apparently vandalized (surrounded by Mexico flags). pic.twitter.com/p1hld0aCPt

This comes after a similar protest in Oxnard, where not only were the participants waving other countries’ flags, but some were burning U.S. flags. My colleague Nick Arama shared details of several anti-ICE protests across the country, which started on Friday:

Meanwhile, in Oxnard, California, if you go to the end of this video, you can see protesters setting fire to an American flag in the middle of the street.

Here’s another post with video from LA, from a supporter who calls it a “human rights/anti-Trump protest”:

Here’s one with people chanting. The X user calls it an “anti-ICE” event, and adds that there’s also a protest happening in Dallas:

🇺🇸 MASSIVE ANTI ICE-DEPORTATION PROTESTS ARE HAPPENING NATIONWIDE

Below is an anti ICE protest currently happening in LA California.

At the same time, there’s also a protest happening in Dallas, TX.

Can’t wait for videos of ICE arresting illegals AT the protests

This is a wider view of the congestion the protest is causing for the people of LA at this hour, after it had seemed to ease up:

JUST IN: The 101 Freeway in Los Angeles just got shut down again after anti-deportation rioters poured back into the lanes.

Where are the cops? Blocking roads is entirely illegal.

KABC reported on Sunday afternoon:

The protesters, many of whom were seen waving Mexican flags, were spotted near the area of Los Angeles and Aliso streets. 

The report added that “according to Caltrans District 7, the 101 remains closed in both directions between the 110 and Mission Road.”

The question remains: Why isn’t the LAPD corralling and dispersing the protesters? Venice Neighborhood Council Board member Soledad Ursua shares the answer–and it won’t surprise anyone familiar with California Democrat politicians:

If you are wondering “where are the police?” LAPD has been on a tactical alert since Jan 7th due to the fires and not responding to non-emergency calls. Nearly 1/3 of LAPD is stationed in the Palisades. Incompetent elected officials are ruining this city https://t.co/SW5rypOAp1
