Anti-ICE protester is run over while trying to stop car in Los Angeles street
An anti-ICE protester was run down by a car she tried to block while demonstrating in the middle of a Los Angeles street at the weekend. Footage shows the 20-year-old female protester getting run over by a Red Kia after flopping on top of the vehicle as its driver attempts to cross an intersection. The incident occurred at the intersection of 5th and Hill Street downtown on Sunday as protesters gathered in the street chanting and waving signs. Several demonstrators can be seen wearing face masks, while one holds the flag of Palestine in the middle of the intersection. Video shows the driver rolling into a bicyclist trying to block his path as the crowd began swarming his car. That's when the defiant female protester stands directly in front of the vehicle, which initially slows down before speeding up again. The woman is shown being knocked to the ground in the shocking clip, as the driver appears to run over over her leg or foot before speeding off. She can be seen howling in pain before being helped to her feet by members of the crowd. According to the LA Fire Department, medical personnel responded to the scene and the woman suffered a 'isolated lower extremity injury.' The LA Police Department are investigating the incident as a hit-and-run and is searching for the driver. In a statement, the fire department said: 'LAFD resources responded to a pedestrian struck at low speed by an automobile. 'The pedestrian (20F) was transported in fair condition to a local hospital with an isolated lower extremity injury. No other patients reported.' The hit-and-run followed protests breaking out on Sunday outside of LA's City Hall and a rally in Pershing Square. A similar incident also occurred on Saturday night at a 'No Kings' demonstration in Riverside, according to the police department. In that incident, a woman was taken to hospital in a stable condition having suffered significant injuries. Footage on social media showed protestors swarming a black car that then plowed into multiple people. An active search for the driver is underway. Parts of Los Angeles erupted earlier this month after anti ICE-raid protestors seized on a number of raids being carried out across the city. The demonstrations in LA quickly turned into riots that saw downtown businesses looted and vehicles set ablaze. President Donald Trump then called in 4,000 members of the National Guard and 700 Marines to quell the disorder. California has sued to regain control of the National Guardsmen from Trump, arguing he overstepped his authority. That suit is working its way through federal court. Over the weekend millions marched as part of the 'No Kings' events that were organized across the country. The events were coordinated to coincide with President Donald Trump's military parade through Washington DC. Trump has made deporting undocumented immigrants a key priority for his second term, after successfully campaigning against an alleged 'invasion' by criminals.

Pacific Palisades evacuations lifted, fully opening area for the first time in months
Authorities have lifted the remaining evacuation orders for the burn area of the Pacific Palisades, allowing unrestricted access to the area for the first time since a devastating fire leveled it in January. The Los Angeles Fire Department announced Sunday afternoon that the orders were fully lifted for all zones in the area. Prior to Sunday, access was restricted to anyone outside of residents, business owners, and others with previous authorization to enter the area. The move to reopen comes just a few weeks after Pacific Coast Highway restrictions were lifted last month. The Palisades Fire tore through the neighborhood in early January, destroying thousands of structures and killing 12. Sunday's move to reopen restricted areas is the latest move toward progressing back to normalcy for residents of the Palisades. Earlier this month, Palisades Charter High School held its graduation for its senior class at the Hollywood Bowl, celebrating students who spent the final months of their high school lives at a temporary campus, after theirs was destroyed in the blaze.
