In Los Angeles, District Attorney Nathan Hochman has charged eight individuals for their involvement in violent protests against immigration enforcement. During a news conference, he reaffirmed the city's commitment to protecting peaceful protests while also stressing the serious consequences for those who engage in violent acts, theft, or vandalism. Hochman also challenged the media narrative suggesting constant turmoil in the city, stating that the vast majority of residents have not participated in the protests. The charges include assault on police officers and use of fireworks against law enforcement during the demonstrations.
Hochman vowed to "fiercely protect people's rights to peacefully assemble," but warned that those who engage in violence, theft or property destruction will face severe consequences.
He stressed that the portrayal of the city undergoing constant turmoil is incorrect, emphasizing that of Los Angeles' 11 million residents, the vast majority have not participated in protests.
