In a dramatic turn of events during an anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protest in Downtown Los Angeles, a federal agent sustained injuries after being attacked. This information was confirmed by the Los Angeles Police Department on Friday.
Shortly before 1 p.m., the LAPD took to social media, writing on X that the Los Angeles Fire Department was responding to the situation involving the injured federal agent. The situation unfolded amidst a protest that was part of a larger student walkout, local news outlets reported.
Throughout the day, the LAPD provided updates on the protest’s progression. Demonstrators were reported to have blocked traffic and committed acts of vandalism, including at the Federal Building. Additionally, there were incidents where objects were hurled at police officers.
Complicating law enforcement efforts, the LAPD later noted that the individuals responsible for the attack on the federal agent had managed to blend into the larger group of marchers, making it challenging to identify them.

The protest was part of a student walkout, according to local outlets.
The students could be seen in aerial video stalling traffic as they walked down a street holding up American, Mexican and other flags.
The protesters also waved signs that said things like “Honk if you hate Nazis” and “F—k Trump,” according to the California Post.

The agent was taken to a hospital in unknown condition.
It’s unclear if any arrests have been made.
Police didn’t specify what agency that agent worked at.
Earlier this month, police issued a dispersal order for another student-led anti-ICE protest in downtown L.A.

At least four suspects were detained for vandalizing property in the area during that protest and were expected to be charged with felony vandalism, according to the LAPD.
