Protesters gathered outside the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building, located along Alameda Street between Temple and Aliso Streets.

Anthony Cabassa, an independent journalist covering the protest, posted on X, formerly Twitter, "DHS Police have declared the protest an unlawful assembly, U.S. Marines and federal agents have now dawned riot gear to include gas masks, as they order the crowd to disperse immediately."
