Clashes in Los Angeles as protests against immigration raids continue

Protesters have clashed with security forces in the city of Los Angeles in the United States for a second day following reports of continued immigration raids, prompting warnings of prosecution from top government officials.

The confrontations on Saturday took place in the Paramount area of southeast Los Angeles after reports of more immigration detentions outside a home improvement store.

Dozens of green-uniformed security personnel in riot gear and gas masks lined up on the road strewn with overturned shopping carts, deploying tear gas as bystanders and protesters gathered on median strips and across the street.
