As the anti-ICE riots rage on, a large group of ‘protestors’ in Los Angeles clashed with Marines who were standing guard outside a federal building.

The crowd of around 500 people ambushed the steps of the building, yelling at the Marines to leave and hurling chants of “shame” their way.

The Marines pushed back against the rioters, urging them to step away.

Watch the tense moment here:

Here’s another angle:

Reuters reported:

The Marines were armed with M4 rifles and wore face shields and the same shin guards used by baseball catchers. They stood guard at the top of steps leading to the entrance of the Roybal federal building, which houses immigration offices and where ICE has held some undocumented detainees. The building has been a flashpoint for protesters all week.
Just down the steps about 15 feet away, hundreds of protesters confronted the Marines, yelling in unison “Marines go home!” and “Shame! Shame!”
Several protesters hurled insults and invectives at the Marines, who did not react. Some in the crowd were telling them to take a knee or to join their demonstration.
Imagine chanting “shame” at Marines on Flag Day of all days.
How shameful.
These ‘protestors’ need to learn some respect.
