Gaza war protesters shut down busy L.A. freeway [View all]
A group of demonstrators blocked part of the 405 Freeway in Los Angeles during Tuesday morning’s commute.
According to CHP Officer Mike Naser, the freeway was shut down at National Boulevard as of 9:10 a.m. but was completely reopened just over an hour after the protest started.
Sky5 footage shows CHP officers detaining several demonstrators, who are part of a coalition of American Jews and allies, according to a press release from IfNotNowLA, which dubs itself “a movement of anti-Apartheid American Jews working to end our community’s support for the Israeli occupation of Palestine.”
A total of eight arrests were made, CHP confirmed to KTLA, adding that there were around 40 protesters, most of whom left on foot when police arrived.
