Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) responded after a large “No Kings” protest in downtown Los Angeles escalated Saturday, and demonstrators vandalized a federal building with threats against ICE agents, clashed with law enforcement, and sparked multiple arrests.
“If you threaten ICE, or their families, you WILL face the full force of federal law,” the response read. “Our courageous men and women face death threats, just like this, every day. Individuals making the threats will be held accountable.”
Earlier in the afternoon, Leftist radicals had vandalized a federal building in Los Angeles on Saturday, scrawling the message “Kill your local ICE agent” alongside two crosshairs as thousands flooded downtown for a “No Kings” protest.

The threatening graffiti came amid a day of demonstrations that drew tens of thousands into the city’s streets, with organizers estimating attendance as high as 50,000 at a rally held at Gloria Molina Grand Park outside City Hall. The Los Angeles Police Department <a href="https://x.com/LAPDCentral/status/2038046323090620455">placed</a> the city on tactical alert around 5:30 local time and issued a dispersal order, warning demonstrators to leave the area near Alameda Street or face arrest. When multiple individuals refused to comply, officers began taking people into <a href="https://x.com/LAPDCentral/status/2038058913934070205">custody</a> 30 minutes later.
Federal officials also reported violence directed at law enforcement. U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli <a href="https://x.com/USAttyEssayli/status/2038064445990350958">said</a> federal agents had “started arresting those who assaulted our personnel at the Los Angeles courthouse,” warning that suspects who hurled projectiles at officers had been captured on video.

“To those who were smashing concrete blocks and throwing them at our officers, we have you on video,” Essayli said. “We will find you and arrest you too. You’ve been warned.”
The Department of Homeland Security wrote in a post on <a href="https://x.com/DHSgov/status/2038082883814936848">X</a> two federal officers were struck by cement blocks and required medical attention. Authorities confirmed that at least two individuals were arrested on felony charges for assaulting federal law enforcement.
Police eventually cleared most demonstrators from the area, lifting the tactical alert around 8 p.m.
Saturday’s protest marked the third major “No Kings” demonstration in recent months, with organizers framing the movement as a grassroots response to what they describe as authoritarian policies.
“A lot of people want to help, they just don’t know where to start,” organizer Emily Williams said ahead of the event. “No Kings is that starting point. It’s about community, about showing up for each other, and about turning concern into real action you can be part of.”
Local and national Republican leaders have sharply criticized the demonstrations. President Donald Trump previously dismissed the movement, saying he is “not a king,” while House Speaker Mike Johnson <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/10/no-kings-protest-mike-johnson-00602705">characterized</a> earlier protests as a “Hate America Rally,” linking them to Hamas and far-left terror groups.
City officials had anticipated potential disruptions. Crews installed gates along 101 Freeway ramps ahead of the march after previous protests saw demonstrators spill onto the highway, creating dangerous conditions for both pedestrians and drivers.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass struck a more supportive tone, calling the demonstrations “democracy in action”  on <a href="https://x.com/MayorOfLA/status/2037949533792219327">X</a>. “Peaceful protest is our constitutional right,” Bass said. “When people come together to make their voices heard, that is democracy in action.”
Despite those calls and Democrat party rhetoric of “mostly peaceful” protests, Saturday’s events, at least in Los Angeles, spilled into confrontation, culminating in assault and threats against federal agents and acts of vandalism at government property.
