Officials are preparing to announce new charges related to the ongoing riots against immigration policies in Los Angeles, as the city continues to experience violence.
U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli, California Highway Patrol Southern Division Chief Chris Margaris, and Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman will present these updates at a press conference on Tuesday.
According to a media release, the Los Angeles Police Department has made 575 arrests since the protests began.

On Saturday, 38 individuals were taken into custody for various offenses such as curfew violations, failure to disperse, and resisting arrest. These protests coincided with the nationwide “No Kings” demonstrations, aimed at opposing the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary military parade held on President Donald Trump’s birthday.
The arrests come as officials strive to reestablish control after riots erupted in response to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in the sanctuary city.
For several nights, police clashed with protestors in downtown Los Angeles, using tear gas and other crowd control tactics to restore order.

“During the crowd control efforts, various less-lethal munitions were deployed,” stated the LAPD.
Authorities are facing protestors who are throwing objects, setting cars ablaze, and launching fireworks at police in reaction to the ICE raids. As of Monday, the LAPD reported 10 injuries among law enforcement officers.
In one serious incident, an illegal immigrant from Mexico was charged with attempted murder last week after allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail during a protest, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

“Emiliano Garduno-Galvez is a criminal illegal alien from Mexico who endangered the lives of federal law enforcement by attacking them with a Molotov cocktail amid the violent riots in Los Angeles,” stated DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “ICE has arrested Garduno-Galvez, who is now facing attempted murder charges. These are the kinds of criminal illegal aliens that rioters aim to defend.”
The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office has not yet responded to Fox News Digital’s inquiry for comments.
