Thousands of protesters have blocked off a major freeway in Los Angeles and set several self-driving taxis on fire as police try to control the crowd as ant-ICE protests continued into a third night.
The protests and riots began on Friday after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested dozens of illegal immigrants in the city as part of President Donald Trump’s mass deportation operation.
