"While attention has focused on the Guard troops downtown, ICE raids continue throughout Southern California, including in the heavily Latino city of Santa Ana. With few outlets for detaining migrants, the Roybal Federal Building was one of the few places to deposit them. So periodically, unmarked vans, without even government plates, would drive up, forcing the crowd to part so they could enter the building. This was when tensions reached their highest point. A few people threw water bottles at the advancing vans; one man swiped at one with an umbrella, to the disapproval of the crowd. 'Peaceful protest homie!' one woman snapped."

The protesters are being called unspeakably violent by the Trump administration. I mostly saw clergy sit-ins and Tejano bands."
