Protesters in support of the two-month long movement in Portland, Oregon, Saturday smashed windows and sprayed a slogan at the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles.

Two demonstrations were scheduled to start in front of City Hall, one organzied by the group Refuse Fascism and the other by the Youth Liberation Front.

The crowd estimated at a few hundred marched to the Los Angeles Police Department headquarters building at First and Main streets, then to the Metropolitan Detention Center at 535 Alameda St., where a witness reported three glass door panels were smashed and the words “Building the new world today” with an “A” surrounded by a circle on a window and a tweeted photo showed “Destroy DHS & ICE” painted on a building sign before the protesters marched away.

No police officers were in sight, the witness said. Three guards stood watch inside the building, according to an eyewitness account.

No injuries or arrests were reported.
