ICE protest in Downtown Seattle, which began peacefully, escalated into clashes with police. Protesters set a dumpster on fire and threw rocks, bottles, and concrete at officers, who responded with pepper spray to disperse the crowd.

Protesters gather at the corner of Portage Path and West Market Street during an "ICE Out of Akron" protest in Highland Square on Wednesday, June 11, 2025.

I cannot believe my eyes as the National Guard smoke-bombs protesters — citizens standing up for the disappearance of their friends, family, and neighbors under the false pretense of an “invasion.”
