L.A. TACO reporters have been out in the streets since Friday to capture scenes and breaking news from the protests against mass deportations following a widespread rollout of ICE agents in Los Angeles. Since then, we've seen a lot, from peaceful people being shot by rubber bullets and choking on tear gas, to people pelting cop cars with rocks and e-scooters from freeway overpasses.
