At least five Waymos were vandalized or burned down during the demonstrations in Los Angeles, which were directed against the abuses of the American immigration authorities ICE.
In recent days, ICE federal agents, sometimes heavily armed, masked, in plain clothes, without name tags, or with military gear and armored troop carriers, have shown up at stores, restaurants and even elementary school graduation ceremonies to arrest undocumented aliens. Similar appearances and posturing by ICE have occurred in other states in recent days and weeks.
During these activities, they have been confronted and filmed by the local population. Following the use of tear gas by federal agents, the situation escalated and major protests ensued.
