Paramount Protest: Demonstrators Confront Federal Agents, One Injured A protest erupted in Paramount, California, on Saturday, June 7th, 2025, as demonstrators attempted to prevent a U.S. Marshals Service bus from leaving the scene of what appeared to be a federal law enforcement operation. The incident unfolded near the 710 Freeway, prompting concerns about potential freeway blockades. "We were trying to stop what we believe was an unjust action," stated one protestor, who declined to give their name, adding, "We won't stand by while families are torn apart." The California Highway Patrol confirmed that officers were on standby, prepared to manage potential disruptions to traffic on the 710 Freeway. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department confirmed the protest, noting the tense atmosphere. The L.A. County Fire Department reported that one person was transported to a local hospital at approximately 12:45 p.m., though the nature and extent of their injuries remain unclear. The protest highlights ongoing tensions surrounding immigration enforcement in the region. While the protest temporarily blocked the Marshals' bus, authorities ultimately cleared the area and the freeway remained open.
