At noon on the 8th, protesters in front of the federal law enforcement agency in downtown Los Angeles, California, USA clashed with National Guard personnel deployed there. The police fired non-lethal bullets at the crowd, and the scene was covered by tear gas.

CCTV reporter Liu Xiaoqian: Now the police are starting to throw riot bombs in large quantities. I could hear the continuous sound of riot bombs throwing explosions, and a man tried to break through the encirclement. The downtown Los Angeles building is a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office and temporary detention site in downtown Los Angeles, and the building has become one of the eyes of the storm in recent days.

CCTV reporter Liu Xiaoqian: At the same time, the US National Guard has been deployed at the scene. These soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms with live guns and live ammunition are members of the National Guard deployed by the Trump administration. They arrived here a few hours ago, on the morning of the 8th local time. According to official news, at least 300 National Guard members have arrived in Los Angeles.

CCTV reporter Liu Xiaoqian: This is the temporary detention center. You can hear the sound of knocking from the window inside. Protesters at the scene asked the National Guard to leave the city in Los Angeles. Because they feel that the measures to send troops will lead to escalation of conflicts.
