Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert G. Luna announced Friday that nearly a dozen deputies were injured during the ongoing riots.
The riots began June 6 as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was conducting raids in the city and surrounding counties.
Luna said 10 deputies were injured after protesters hurled rocks, Molotov cocktails and “high-grade pyrotechnics” at them.
“We’ve been encountering some notable weapons out there,” Luna remarked. “[There is a] distinct contrast between the peaceful protesters and those individuals who arrive armed to confront our teams.”

Since the onset of the protests, McDonnell said hundreds of people have been arrested.
He mentioned that a curfew, which will remain active through the weekend, “has been crucial in restoring order, especially by reducing the criminal activities that predominantly took place during the night.”
CHP troopers will be on active patrol throughout the state looking for areas of concern.
There will also be a focus on protecting state infrastructure.
