LOS ANGELES—A large group of people protesting President Donald Trump’s illegal immigration policies blocked traffic on the 101 Freeway and clashed with law enforcement in downtown Los Angeles on Feb. 2.

The protesters gathered on the morning of Feb. 2 on Olvera Street for what the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) called a non-permitted demonstration. The crowd grew to a few thousand people who marched to City Hall before many walked onto the freeway near the Alameda Street exit.
