It is no surprise when the border was open for four years under Joe Biden that people in support of those policies would react this way once President Trump actually started enforcing border security and deportation.
Trump’s immigration raids have already arrested and removed some of the most vicious illegal alien criminals living in the US.
President Trump’s DOJ has directed all 93 US Attorneys Offices to prosecute state or local officials who obstruct immigration raids.
In a memo, Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, has instructed federal prosecutors across the country to investigate and potentially prosecute any local officials who obstruct efforts to block Trump’s immigration enforcement raids and deportation operations.
Anti-ICE protesters took to the streets of Los Angeles on Sunday, which included the freeway itself. The 101 Freeway in Downtown Los Angeles was closed down as a result of lawless people walking onto the southbound side of the freeway.
Peaceful protesting within the First Amendment does not allow people to block a freeway or put others in danger like this group of lawbreakers.

The situation took a turn for the worse when both sides of the 101 Freeway were blocked by the deportation protesters.
Although there were some US Flags being carried, a good portion of them were carrying Mexican flags.

KTLA reported:
A massive protest formed in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday in response to President Trump’s crackdown on immigration and emphasis on deportations.
The protest, which was organized and promoted on social media, originated on the Placita Olvera on Olvera Street near DTLA.
By 11:30 a.m., the protest had thousands of demonstrators and was growing in size, marching to City Hall in downtown.
At about noon, a large group of protesters walked onto the southbound lanes of the 101 Freeway, at the Alameda Street exit in DTLA. By 12:30 p.m., they were blocking both sides of the 101 in the same area.
This is a developing story.
