Demonstrators spent a second night making as much noise as possible outside a hotel in Los Angeles County on Wednesday in an attempt to disturb ICE agents who are believed to be staying there.
Video showed a crowd of about 100 to 150 people outside the Hilton Garden Inn on Rancho Valley Drive in Pomona around 11:30 p.m.
The protesters were seen waving flags, honking horns and banging drums behind police tape that blocked the hotel’s parking lot entrance.
“I think they should just go back where they came from,” Rafael Ornóñez said of the ICE agents. It was unclear how many agents, if any, were staying at the hotel.
KTLA reporter Carlos Herrera was at the scene Thursday morning, where a handful of demonstrators were still going strong. “A very small, but very loud group of protesters still out here this morning,” Carlos said.
The demonstrators are demanding that ICE agents leave the city and are concerned about reports of recent arrests. “They just arrested, yesterday, I think, the crew guy right here at the Target,” Ornóñez said.
Some of the protesters said they planned on returning each night until the agents leave their city.
Police indicated that the demonstrations would be allowed as long as they remained peaceful, freelance media firm KNN reported.
