Demonstrators gathered outside Los Angeles City Hall Wednesday as protests against the Trump administration's crackdown on immigration continued in LA for a fourth day.

Since Sunday, protesters have been marching through LA streets carrying signs blasting ICE raids and advocating for immigrants, blocking the 101 Freeway on the first day of demonstrations. For the last three days, the Los Angeles Police Department has ended up declaring each of the gatherings "an unlawful assembly" and forcing them to disperse. Students from schools in East Los Angeles and South Los Angeles have walked out of their campuses in joining the protests.

U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement, ICE, has been planning on ramping up raids in major cities such as Chicago as part of a sweeping crackdown. Within his first month in office, President Trump issued a series of executive orders moving to shut down admissions for asylum seekers and refugees, tasking the military with border enforcement and attempting to eliminate birthright citizenship — a right protected by the Fourteenth Amendment for more than 100 years.
