Violent activists swarmed Los Angeles again on Sunday, blocking a busy highway and clashing with local and federal authorities amid ongoing ‘demonstrations’ against President Trump’s illegal immigration crackdown.
Footage shot by local independent reporter Anthony Cabassa showed a mob of agitators amassing downtown on the 101 freeway after local police were “overrun.”

“They are on the freeway now, but they did that during Gaza protests, too, and nothing really came of it,” a local source told InfoWars.
Around 2,000 National Guard soldiers have been deployed to the City of Angels, and the Trump administration has vowed to send in the Marines if order cannot be restored.
