LA Ice protests spurred US military to identify ‘hotels to avoid’ due to ‘harassment’

Exclusive: Organizers disrupted Trump's immigration crackdown by targeting hotels where officers were staying, documents show

When Donald Trump's administration escalated immigration raids in Los Angeles earlier this summer, protest organizers responded with actions staged in an unusual setting: the hotels where immigration officers were staying.

Protests took place at several southern California hotels where Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents had been spotted. Some activists launched No sleep for Ice" rallies, with chants and music blaring through the night, in hopes of pressuring the hotels to kick agents out.
