Protest Against Trump’s Deportation Policies Blocks Traffic in Downtown L.A. Ahead of Grammys
A protest against President Trump's aggressive deportation policies caused traffic in downtown L.A. Sunday, ahead of the Grammys ceremony.
The protest began in the morning and grew in number through the afternoon, per the Los Angeles Times, with protesters sporting Mexican and Salvadoran flags and signs reading slogans like, “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you,” referring to California’s agricultural industry and its reliance on undocumented immigrants. At one point, a group of protesters marched onto the 101 Freeway, putting traffic to a stop on one of the city’s main commuting roadways. The afternoon has sparked concerns about punctuality for some Grammy attendees, with one rep mentioning that the blocked roads in downtown L.A. could cause late red carpet arrivals.
