Anti-ICE mayhem explodes in Texas as cops confront protesters demanding an end to Trump's deportations
To show their support with Los Angeles protestors, sympathizers in Texas 's largest cities filled the streets to demonstrate against migrant deportations carried out by order of Pres. Donald Trump. In Dallas and Austin, rallies started at 7 p.m. Monday night. While initially peaceful, tensions escalated between protestors and local police as the night went on. Dallas police began arresting individuals just before 9 p.m. after they pleaded with protestors to stay off the Margret Hunt Hill Bridge, a busy thoroughfare into downtown filled with cars zooming by. As darkness fell on the city, a line of cops blocked the advance of the protestors who seemed determine to take control of the bridge. It's unclear how many were arrested in Dallas. However, police declared an 'unlawful assembly,' warning more arrests could be coming just before 10 p.m. Central time. In Austin, protestors moved between the state capitol and the federal building just a short distance away. Using shoe polish as graffiti, some of the protestors vandalized the outside of the building, which houses Immigration and Customs Enforcement or ICE. 'That's not protesting. That's vandalism,' Noah Webster posted on X. The gathering was also declared unlawful, and eventually, Austin police deployed tear gas for those who refused to go home and comply with orders. Arrests were made by officers from several agencies who were staged in the area. The agency's arrests of law-abiding migrants, including ones with legal status, have spurred much of the anger behind the demonstrations nation wide. A video of a 52-year-old mother being arrested without a warrant in Westminster, Maryland has gone viral in recent days. The woman, pulled over by ICE agents, asks why she was pulled over and if they have a warrant for her. 'Show us the warrant,' the Salvadoran woman and her daughter plead with the federal agent. 'I'm not going to give you the warrant,' the officer replies. The woman responded by saying she wouldn't exit the car without a warrant, when agents shattered her window, to her daughter's desperate screams. 'You guys cannot take her just because you guys want to,' her daughter yells through tears.' The mother calmly complies with law enforcement, urging her kids to remain calm. ICE protesters covered parts of the federal building in graffiti. Here is what they left. — DASH (@DocumentingATX) June 10, 2025 View this post on Instagram A post shared by 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐚 (@thefuddhist) Her son pleads with officers, claiming his mother is in the middle of a legal immigration process. Arrests that seem to buck every rule of American law enforcement and Constitutionality since Trump took office have angered many across the country. However, President Trump won a second term in the White House in large part due to his campaign promise to carry out the largest deportations in the nation's history. Around 8:30 p.m., Austin Police declared a protest in downtown unlawful assembly and threatened to deploy tear gas if people didn't leave.

LA Protests Live: Downtown LA declared unlawful assembly area after third day of anti-ICE unrest
08:06 EDT What is happening in LA? 7 minutes ago 08:03 EDT Jorge Garcia Police have declared all of downtown Los Angeles to be an unlawful assembly area and ordered protesters to go home, after Sunday saw a third day of violence hit demonstrations against President Donald Trump's immigration policy. National Guard troops were deployed by Trump at the weekend to help quell the protests, a move California Governor Gavin Newsom called unlawful. They guarded federal government buildings on Sunday. The unrest in Los Angeles has become a major flashpoint in Trump's signature effort to clamp down on illegal immigration. The U.S. president has pledged to deport record numbers of people who are in the country illegally and to lock down the U.S.-Mexico border, setting the border enforcement agency ICE a daily goal of arresting at least 3,000 migrants. California state and local officials, mainly Democrats, accuse Trump of inflaming initially small-scale protests by mounting a federal response. He calls the protesters insurrectionists. Los Angeles police said some protesters had thrown concrete projectiles, bottles and other items at police. Police declared several rallies to be unlawful assemblies and later extended that to include the whole downtown area. Police said they had arrested 10 people on Sunday and 29 the previous night, adding arrests were continuing.
