Massive student immigration protest turns violent in downtown LA, dispersal order issued: police

Los Angeles police were forced to issue a dispersal order Wednesday after a massive student protest over federal immigration enforcement efforts spiraled into violence in downtown LA.

Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD)'s Central Division issued a community advisory at about 3:30 p.m. local time noting officers were detaining a person for throwing items when the crowd surrounded them and "began to impede."

A dispersal issue was issued, and those who remain will be subject to arrest, according to authorities.
