A large group of people protesting President Donald Trump's illegal immigration crackdown stormed the 101 Freeway in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday, causing major delays for both sides of traffic in the area, according to police. At one point, the Los Angeles Police Department declared it a "non-permitted demonstration," and advised people to expect traffic delays.
The crowd grew to a few thousand people who marched to City Hall, before many walked onto the freeway near the Alameda Street exit shortly after noon. Police reported at 1:19 p.m. that the demonstration had moved back onto surface streets, opening both north and southbound lanes of the freeway.
Several minutes later officials said the protesters had moved back onto the freeway.
"Please avoid the 101 freeway in DTLA between I-110 and Mission Rd., as we work to remove a protest from the freeway," the CHP said on social media. "Accessing state highways or roads to protest is unlawful and extremely dangerous because it puts protesters, motorists and first responders at great risk of injury."
