URGENT UPDATE: The L.A. County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) is actively searching for three suspects involved in an incident where large rocks were thrown at California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers during an anti-ICE protest in downtown Los Angeles. This alarming confrontation took place earlier this year along the southbound span of the 101 Freeway.
According to LASD, the incident occurred during a large demonstration, escalating tensions between protesters and law enforcement. The department has emphasized the seriousness of the situation, stating that the suspects are wanted for allegedly targeting officers with dangerous projectiles.
Authorities are urging the public to assist in identifying these individuals. “We need the community’s help to bring these suspects to justice,” said a LASD spokesperson. The department has released images and descriptions of the suspects, hoping to generate leads as they ramp up their investigation.
This incident highlights the growing tensions surrounding immigration enforcement in California. Protests have surged in recent months as activists voice their opposition to ICE operations, and confrontations with law enforcement have become increasingly common.
The LASD is requesting anyone with information to come forward and contact their office. Tips can be submitted anonymously, and the department is offering a reward for information leading to the suspects’ arrest.
As investigations continue, community members are urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity. The situation remains fluid, and updates are expected as authorities work to resolve this case.
Stay tuned for further developments as LASD intensifies efforts to bring the suspects to justice.
