A crowd of about 200 marched to a federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement building, where federal officers came out to confront the crowd. Some protesters threw projectiles, and federal officers pursued

them with tear gas and other crowd-control munitions. Local police officers later made a series of arrests on nearby streets.

To the south, in Oakland, Calif., hundreds of protesters of protesters took to the streets in solidarity, with a march that began peacefully with a few hundred people calling for justice. Jacob Blake’s name was spray-painted on some boarded storefronts, and some protesters chanted the name of Oscar Grant, a 22-year-old Black man who was killed in the city in 2009.

Later, some protesters set small fires in the streets, breaking windows and flipping trash cans. Police shared video footage showing a small fire inside the shattered glass doors of the Alameda County courthouse in Oakland.

Photos showed smashed windows at a Whole Foods store, where a Black man had lost consciousness after being assaulted by a security guard in 2015 after an altercation about payment, and video footage also showed plumes of smoke rising near Lake Merritt after a car was set ablaze.
