Los Angeles: Following noise grenades, Los Angeles police began shooting rubber bullets at the most active protesters, a RIA Novosti correspondent reported.

Earlier, the correspondent reported that security forces used flash-bang grenades.

Later, in an attempt to disperse the crowd, law enforcement officers used rubber bullets — primarily at those who threw various objects at them.

The crowd, however, began to scatter along the streets of the city center.

The unrest began on June 7 after a raid by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) service in downtown Los Angeles, where a mass operation was conducted to identify undocumented immigrants. The clashes with protesters came amid reports of potential cuts to federal funding for the state. The following day, the White House announced that 2,000 National Guard troops would be deployed to the city.

Los Angeles County officials later said they had not requested the National Guard and stressed that the decision to deploy it was made without consulting local officials. It became a public point of contention between the Republican White House and the state’s Democratic leadership.
