Hundreds of sex toys were thrown around outside the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown LA by anti-ICE protesters on Saturday afternoon, and several people were arrested after police ordered the crowds to disperse.<\/p>\n

The demonstration against tactics used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers got underway at about noon, Los Angeles Police Department Lt. Bruce Cross said.<\/p>\n

Videos posted on X by Frontline TPUSA showed protesters attaching colorful sex toys to fences, tossing them at law enforcement vehicles and waving \u201cexplicit\u201d signs, KTLA<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

The demonstration was billed as (expletive) ICE. Hence, the sex toys.<\/p>\n

The non-permitted protest was attended by 200 to 300 people. By 2 p.m., officials at the scene declared an unlawful assembly after protesters overtook the streets and blocked the flow of traffic, Cross said.<\/p>\n

The area of Alameda Street between Aliso and Temple streets was then shut down, as well as Commercial Street between the 101 Freeway ramps and Alameda Street, he said.<\/p>\n

Officers arrested roughly a half-dozen people who refused to leave the area, Cross said.<\/p>\n

The streets were reopened around 4 p.m., he said.<\/p>\n
