The first thing an invading army does is to seize major roadways.

A massive protest formed in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday in response to President Trump's crackdown on immigration and emphasis on deportations, where protestors were on and off the 101 Freeway and on surface streets well into the evening.

The protest, which was organized and promoted on social media, originated on the Placita Olvera on Olvera Street near DTLA.

...

The moving protest caused "major gridlock" on both sides of the 101, as well as Spring, Main and Los Angeles streets downtown, according to the LAPD.

Both sides of the 101 were reopened by 1:20 p.m. as the demonstrations moved back onto surface streets, the LAPD said, but the reopening didn't last long. Minutes later, the LAPD said the 101 was closed once again, this time at Los Angeles Street.

BREAKING: Rep. Mike Collins is introducing legislation to make blocking a highway intentionally a federal crime.

This comes after protesters blocked a highway today in Los Angeles.

Definitely. If the Democrats want to block this law -- and if Collins, Murkowski, and McConnell want to join them -- fine. Let's get it on the record.
