ICE Agents Pepper-Spray Protesters Outside Hospital In Boyle Heights
A confrontation between immigration enforcement agents and dozens of protesters outside a Boyle Heights hospital early Saturday morning resulted in multiple people being pushed and pepper-sprayed.
On November 7, 2026, at approximately 2:30 a.m., more than 50 protesters gathered outside White Memorial Hospital in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, confronting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
Approximately nine vehicles associated with the agents were observed at the location.
During the confrontation, numerous protesters were reportedly pushed and pepper-sprayed by agents.
A young woman was seen on her knees crying as several people poured water onto her face, apparently attempting to provide relief following the confrontation.
The situation continued until a priest arrived at the scene, after which the ICE agents departed.
Officers from the Los Angeles Police Department’s Hollenbeck Division also responded to the location, but no intervention by LAPD officers was observed.
It remains unclear why the immigration agents were at the hospital or what prompted their presence.
No information regarding arrests or injuries requiring hospitalization was immediately available.
