Local police deployed pepper spray and non-lethal munitions late Saturday afternoon in Los Angeles as the "No Kings" protest there began to devolve into a more confrontational event.

All traffic has been halted on a portion of the 101 freeway in Los Angeles as protesters walk on the freeway, according to Los Angeles Police Department. Both northbound and southbound lanes have been impacted, officials said. "101 freeway between Alameda and the 110 freeway is closed due to demonstrators walking onto the freeway," police said.
