TACOMA, Wash. — Ten protesters were arrested Tuesday night outside the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, after blocking the road and assaulting an officer.
In an ongoing protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Tacoma Police said forty people started blocking the road and standing in front of an officer’s patrol car refusing to move.
That prompted a large police response with twenty-five officers.
One protester was arrested for assault for jumping onto the back of an officer and grabbing his neck. Others were taken away for resisting arrest or failing to disperse.
KOMO reports that the protesters were told they must clear their tents from the right of way by 6:00 P.M. Thursday.
