Per ABC 7:
A small fire erupted behind an LAPD skirmish line Sunday night in downtown Los Angeles as protests against immigration raids escalated.
It was unclear who or what ignited the blaze, which burned on a sidewalk as Los Angeles Police Department officers on horseback chased several individuals who ran from the scene.
One man who was running away tripped and fell in the middle of the street and was immediately surrounded by officers on foot and on horses. Fireworks ignited as the man stood up and began walking away; a police officer grabbed him and quickly pulled him to the ground.
Whether the man was among the 27 people who were arrested during the protests was unknown.
Here was Gov. Gavin Newsom’s response to the chaos:
Trump’s border czar is threatening to arrest me for speaking out.
Come and get me, tough guy.
I don’t give a damn.
It won’t stop me from standing up for California.pic.twitter.com/DvVQljAgir

The Daily Mail reported more on the chaos in Los Angeles:
Shocking video has shown how violent riots plunged Los Angeles into chaos, with a van seen ploughing into crowds, protesters torching cars and throwing rocks at cops, and journalists shot with rubber bullets as authorities staged a brutal crackdown.
Horrifying footage filmed by motorists showed people running for their lives as a people carrier was driven full-speed into a crowd, with reports that several protesters were injured.
The driver of the vehicle – reported to be shirtless as he launched the attack – spun it around in circles and reversed it multiple times in an apparent attempt to hit people, and was later arrested.

Clashes erupted between law enforcement and protesters following immigration raids across the US, with Donald Trump responding to the violence by ordering the deployment of the National Guard.Rioters were filmed driving motorcycles at cops and blockading streets, with the carnage grinding Downtown LA to a complete halt as authorities declared an ‘unlawful assembly’ in the area.
Balaclava-clad protesters waving Mexican flags were caught on camera standing on top of wrecked Waymo driverless cars, while huge infernos were seen rising from burnt-out vehicles.
Footage showed how in one vicious attack, officers were forced to shelter under an overpass on the 101 Freeway as they were hammered with fiery missiles, e-scooters and other projectiles from above.
