Protests against raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) popped up in major cities across the country this week as organizing groups gear up for a nationwide day of action on Saturday

Videos and photographs of Wednesday raids across the country show people clashing with, running from and being arrested by immigration agents.

The Special Response Teams (SRTs) are tactical units under ICE that use BearCat tracked vehicles, long guns and tactical vests in operations considered high risk. They were used in the raid on Sean “Diddy” Combs’ home, for example. They were most recently used in Los Angeles and are seen as among the reasons protests began.
