Zip-tied rioters were herded into LAPD buses as police began making arrests while exhausting all efforts to get the city under control from the mayhem brought on by the anti-ICE protests.
Caught rioters were also seen lined up along the streets and zip-tied while being surrounded by police.
Riot cops with the Los Angeles Police Department were combing through the streets of downtown in a line near the Metropolitan Detention Center, giving rioters an ultimatum to disperse or be arrested as the city entered its fourth night of violent anti-ICE riots, CNN reported.
Police were seen rounding up people not abiding by the warnings, arresting them, and busing them off, the outlet reported.
Around 2,000 protesters were estimated to be participating in the riots on Sunday, which continued on Monday night, with at least 56 people arrested over the weekend.
The arrests come as officials have begun making serious efforts to identify and arrest those partaking in violence against law enforcement over the past few days.
On Monday, the FBI identified the masked brute caught on camera hurling bricks at federal law enforcement authorities during the anti-ICE riots over the weekend as 40-year-old Elpidio Reyna, US Attorney Bill Essayli announced.
“WANTED: Elpidio Reyna can run, but he can’t hide. He threw rocks at federal officers leaving a command post in Paramount on Saturday, a brazen attack caught on film and that could have resulted in deaths,” Essayli, the top prosecutor in the Central District of California, wrote on X.
The US attorney noted that Reyna is charged with assault on a federal officer and faces up to eight years in prison if convicted.
A spokesperson for the FBI’s Los Angeles field office confirmed that Reyna is not yet in custody.
President Trump also ordered the Department of Defense to deploy an additional 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles on Monday — making it more than 4,000 Guard troops stationed in the California city.
In addition, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced that 700 active-duty Marines from Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms were being deployed into the city to assist federal, state, and local authorities in tackling the protests.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who filed a lawsuit against Trump for deploying the National Guard in the first place, said that bringing in further forces would add fuel to the fire and be “Disrespectful to our troops.”
“The first 2,000? Given no food or water. Only approx. 300 are deployed — the rest are sitting, unused, in federal buildings without orders. This isn’t about public safety. It’s about stroking a dangerous President’s ego,” Newsom wrote on X.
“This is Reckless. Pointless. And Disrespectful to our troops.”
LA Mayor Karen Bass also accused the Trump administration of purposefully creating “disorder and chaos” in the city by deploying so many soldiers.
“I feel like we are part of an experiment that we did not ask to be a part of,” Bass said.
She later pleaded for the federal government to “stop the raids.”
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem put Bass and Newsom on blast Monday night and accused the lefty leaders of doing “absolutely nothing” to protect citizens from criminal migrants in the city.
“Gavin Newsom has done absolutely nothing, Mayor Bass has done absolutely nothing,” the DHS secretary told Fox News host Sean Hannity.
“She is a train wreck of a mayor,” Noem said of Bass, accusing the LA mayor of “endorsing” criminal activities and allowing LA “to be completely devastated with crime.”
