Police clash with protesters amid smoke and chaos during a nighttime demonstration, showcasing tensions in urban areas.

Anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles (January 31, 2026)

During a clash with the police on Saturday, radical left anti-ICE rioters in Los Angeles interfered with news crews and vandalized a news van with graffiti after breaking one of the van’s windows. 

One of the rioters also appeared to try to steal the van.

Justin O’Brien, another photographer who reports from Fox 11’s SkyFOX helicopter, said he watched the incident from the sky. “I found him at the back of the van loading his equipment, but then somebody came up with a rock, smashed the passenger side window, and then went to the front of the vehicle and started graffitiing it, and then tried to actually get in the vehicle. Luckily, the vehicle was not running or had a key in it,” O’Brien said.

The photographer escaped uninjured, but “the person was in his face, so just a very, very scary time,” O’Brien added.

Aerial footage of the scene shows two men spray painting the news van and one opening the driver’s side door.

Per ABC7, 50 people were arrested when anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles turned violent on Saturday night.

Footage shared with the Gateway Pundit by Rhein Amacher shows shielded agents outside of the federal building, deploying gas and non-lethal munitions into the mob of leftists after they attacked agents with fireworks and bottle rockets.

Another clip shows rioters clashing with Los Angeles police and what appear to be National Guard troops at the federal building. A crazed leftist woman can be heard screaming as she is carried away and arrested. Graffiti scribbled all over the federal building by the so-called “protesters” reads “F*ck ICE” and F*ck Trump.”

As The Gateway Pundit reported, rioters ignited fires and clashed with federal law enforcement and local police outside of the ICE detention center in LA during the nationwide “ICE Out Everywhere” protests on Friday night.

Rep. Maxine Waters also made an appearance, leading the violent mob as they surrounded and attacked federal agents outside of the federal building in Los Angeles.
