LOS ANGELES (CNS)- Ten officers have been injured and 575 people have been arrested since protests against immigration enforcement began in downtown Los Angeles, police said Monday.
The overnight period from Sunday to Monday was comparatively calm, with no arrests reported, according to the LAPD.
That’s a significant change from the Saturday-Sunday period, when officers arrested 35 people on suspicion of failing to disperse, one person on suspicion of resisting, obstructing or delaying an officer and another on suspicion of resisting arrest.
Crowd control operations again involved the use of numerous less- lethal rounds, police said of the Saturday-Sunday period.
As of June 7, there have been 575 protest-related arrests, according to the LAPD.
“This number reflects an adjustment made to include 14 arrests for looting that occurred earlier in the week, but were not previously included in our tabulation,” according to an LAPD news release. “Additionally, the number of officers injured has been revised to ten. This correction reflects clarification from the incident command post and reflects the information currently available.”
Police did not disclose the severity of the officers’ injuries.
