Storyline: Frustrated immigrants and their families continued to gather in Los Angeles on Monday to protest what they describe as unfair treatment and hypocrisy by the government, asserting that their labor and tax contributions have built the city and the nation. As the protests over immigration raids in downtown Los Angeles continued for a fourth consecutive day, escalating clashes have been seen between protesters, police officers and the National Guard troops sent in by the Trump administration. The clashes came after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids began on Friday across Los Angeles County, with a particular focus on the downtown fashion district and Latino communities, which sparked mass protests over the weekend. The raids resulted in more than 100 arrests, drawing angry protesters who confronted agents with tear gas, flash-bang grenades and rocks. One of the protesters, university student Guadalupe who is from a Mexican immigrant family, criticized the heavy-handed response to the protests which she said goes against their right to free speech. She also called on others to take to the street and make their voices heard. Guadalupe also condemned the government hypocrisy in wrongfully accusing immigrants of not contributing taxes while asserting their rightful place in America, a country she said is "built on immigrants".

This is a country we are [supposed to be] able to speak freely and as you guys can see right now, we are not able to speak freely. So we're all here today, we're getting all the immigrants, all the families, if you can come support, come out here because this place [would] not [be] here without Mexicans, without all immigrants. So we're all here, we want every single family to come over here and support their families because without them the U.S. is nothing." 3.

SOUNDBITE (English) Guadalupe (full name not given), Los Angeles protester; University student: "My parents have always paid taxes. They (the government) used to say we didn't pay taxes, what about now? Are they using the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to track us down? I thought we didn't pay taxes, I thought we were freeloaders? But yet they're coming to our houses, they're coming to buildings, they're coming to construction places. What is it? They are lying to the people and the people are tired and we're not dealing with it no more. Los Angeles is not going to stand by and let this happen. This place was built on immigrants and it will forever be built on immigrants. This is our land and no one is going to take it away from us ever." 6. Police helicopter overhead 7.
