Footage from an anti-ICE protest outside the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building in downtown Los Angeles shows a protester being carried on the hood of an ICE SUV before crashing to the pavement. The incident is the latest in a series of confrontations between demonstrators and federal agents at the site, which has become a focal point for protests against the Trump administration's immigration enforcement policies.
Why it matters
The video of the protester being carried on the SUV's hood has renewed debate over how federal agents handle civilian crowds during enforcement operations. The sustained protests at the Roybal Federal Building reflect deep public unease over the administration's immigration crackdown, which has seen federal agents deployed to Democratic-run cities.
The details
The footage captured the moment the SUV driver continued moving, carrying the protester on the hood for several seconds before she fell to the ground. The protester was seen getting back up and returning to the group of demonstrators around her, and did not appear to have suffered significant injuries. The incident is the latest flashpoint in months of sustained demonstrations against ICE activity in Los Angeles, with protesters repeatedly clashing with local and federal law enforcement at the site.
- The incident occurred on March 14, 2026 during a late-night rally outside the Roybal Federal Building.
- Large-scale ICE raids swept across Los Angeles in June 2025, prompting the initial protests at the federal building.
The players
Karen Bass
The mayor of Los Angeles who has repeatedly urged restraint from all sides during the protests.
Donald Trump
The former president who federalized the California National Guard in 2025 to respond to the unrest around the Roybal Federal Building, marking the first time a president had mobilized a state's National Guard without a governor's consent since 1965.
What they’re saying
“Peaceful protest is a constitutional right. I urge Angelenos to exercise that right safely and not give this administration an excuse to escalate.”
— Karen Bass, Mayor of Los Angeles (Twitter)
The takeaway
The incident at the Roybal Federal Building underscores the increasingly volatile atmosphere surrounding ICE enforcement operations nationwide, as sustained protests against the Trump administration's immigration policies show no signs of abating.
