LOS ANGELES (AP) — Thousands of people protesting mass deportations planned by President Donald Trump marched in Southern California on Sunday, including in downtown Los Angeles where demonstrators blocked a major freeway.
Protesters gathered in the morning on LA’s historic Olvera Street, which dates to Spanish and Mexican rule, before marching to City Hall. They called for immigration reform and carried banners with slogans like “Nobody is illegal.”
By the afternoon, marchers had blocked all lanes of U.S. 101, causing traffic to back up in both directions and on downtown surface streets. The demonstrators sat down in freeway lanes, while a cordon of California Highway Patrol officers stood by.
The CHP and the Los Angeles Police Department said there were no immediate reports of arrests.
To the east, hundreds of people protested in the city of Riverside. Passing motorists honked and yelled out in support of demonstrators waving flags at an intersection, the Southern California News Group reported.
