(NewsNation) — Anti-ICE protesters in Los Angeles are finding out where federal agents and officers are staying within the area, NewsNation has learned.
The protesters are posting and sharing the ICE agents’ locations on social media to compromise their safety. Dubbed the “No Sleep for ICE” movement, nearly 20 hotels have been circulated by protesters trying to stop agents.
So far, many agents have frequently changed hotels.
Some protestors have been seen leaving the large crowds and instead heading to the hotels and buildings. In addition, small crowds have been seen banging on pots and pans, even lighting fireworks outside of hotels where law enforcement officials are staying in the city.
ICE agents have been in the city since last week, when raids targeting migrant workers took place at locations including Home Depot and a clothing store. President Trump also deployed thousands of National Guard soldiers to LA over the weekend to quell expanding demonstrations in the city.
Trump has demanded that ICE increase arrests of migrants in the United States illegally since he took office. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has a daily quota of 3,000 arrests.
Anti-ICE protests have spread across other U.S. cities, including Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, Denver, Portland and New York.
The Department of Homeland Security told NewsNation they are taking the matter very seriously and monitoring the situation.
