As the protests against ICE raids continued in Los Angeles for a fourth night, the LAPD and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department triggered a request for support from other agencies, including the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office.
Some Ventura County Sheriff's deputies were deployed to downtown Los Angeles, where they teamed up with CHP officers to help clear some streets.
At one point, some of the protesters fired fireworks and pushed dumpsters towards the officers, who responded with tear gas and dispersed the crowd.
There’s no word on how many Ventura County Sheriff’s deputies were deployed.
The Santa Paula Police Department is another local agency that sent officers to Los Angeles to assist. According to LAPD Police Chief Jim McDonald, 14 law enforcement agencies from around the region are involved in the mutual aid effort.
