An immigration sweep at the Santa Ana Home Depot was one of several reported in Southern California over the past week. The raids led to protests, some of which turned violent in downtown Los Angeles. Law enforcement officers have used flash-bang stun grenades, rubber bullets and tear gas on the crowds.

At least five carwashes across Los Angeles County and Orange County have been raided since Sunday, according to one labor group.

The ongoing protests in Los Angeles began with small demonstrations against immigration raids in the nation's second largest city.

An elderly man dropping off his granddaughter at her school was one of several people detained Wednesday in an immigration raid in Downey, city leaders confirmed.

Continued federal immigration enforcement actions have disrupted lives across greater Los Angeles, including a middle school graduation where teachers and families were left hunkering down in fear.

The White House told ICE to target Home Depot. That has disrupted the company’s symbiotic relationship with the day laborers outside its stores.

Claims that day labourers were being detained spark violent protests in a city on edge over the president's immigration crackdown.

Rep. Nanette Barragán, who represents the area in Congress, said ICE was now bringing “their terror tactics and masked agents” to Paramount.
