KABC-TV, a Los Angeles TV station, reports that ICE showed up at about midnight at Adventist Health White Memorial Medical Center with a person in custody who needed medical treatment in the emergency room. A hospital spokesperson said federal agents blocked the entrance to the ER for two hours.
Protesters soon showed up to object to the presence of ICE agents at the hospital, and one of the demonstrators, a teenage girl, was reportedly pepper sprayed by agents and needed medical attention.

Trump Finally Emerges From Election Loss Stupor to Cry Fraud
Everyone mark your bingo cards.
President Donald Trump emerged Monday with muddled accusations of election fraud, nearly a week after saying he would accept the sweeping Republican losses in the midterm elections.
"Does anybody really believe that this Election' was honest. How could the Polls be so wrong???" Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Some early voting dumps' were so large that it was impossible to win, no matter how many people went to vote."
"It's all about the machines, which are far more important than the voter!" he added.
It was not immediately clear what polls Trump was referring to. Trump's own personal pollster Tony Fabrizio had been warning since last year that Republicans would take a major hit in the midterms.
In July, Fabrizio found that Republicans were lagging three percentage points on a generic ballot. Among 65 percent of highly motivated voters, a Republican would lag by seven percentage points.
