Protesters hold signs and wave flags as they watch others confront federal agents outside the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles Friday, Jan. 30, 2026. The protesters were taking part in a nationwide demonstration calling for withdrawal of federal immigration enforcement, part of the national “ICE Out” rally, triggered by the recent deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good at the hands of federal agents. Some protesters clashed with federal agents and were throwing items toward officers before pepper spray was deployed. LAPD declared a citywide tactical alert, meaning all officers need to stay on shift. Later, a dispersal order was issued as officers formed skirmish lines near the federal building.
