Looks like preliminary skirmishes as each side tests the mettle of their opponents & assess their capabilities.

Los Angeles, CA - DHS agents firing pepper balls at people near the gate outside of Metro Detention Center through the closed gate. A vehicle briefly did doughnuts in the street a few minutes before.

So DHS agents are armed and behind a gate, and are so scared of protesters that they need to lob gas and pepper balls at civilians. LAPD told the protesters to stay on the sidewalk, and the masked DHS thugs cower. This is madness. This is pointless. This is un-American.

Los Angeles, CA - DHS once again declaring an unlawful assembly, saying 2 minutes to comply. I am like 99% sure. Lots of engine revving.

Los Angeles, CA - DHS continuing to block the sidewalk in front of MDC. LAPD cruisers now driving through the street telling protesters to get on sidewalk. Possible they mean the other side but even then, these cruisers are driving very quickly and noticeably erratic.

Los Angeles, CA - DHS agents have returned inside the fence of MDC. Haven’t seen LAPD in awhile. Protesters putting plastic over one section of the fence where agents have sprayed them several times. Heard them saying “can’t spray us now.” The plastic has been spray painted with the word “Animals”

Pretty sure that’s not a lawful order, but they aren’t sticklers about such things
