An estimated 300 protestors against the latest escalation in immigration enforcement marched near South Country Club and East Valencia, in Tucson on Wednesday, June 11.

When they reached the ICE office, a few dozen protestors faced off with private security, throwing things at them while the security fired what looked to be non-lethal weapons into the crowd.

Most of the protestors remained peaceful.

Tucson police said vandalism ranged from graffiti to damaged windows. They arrested three people for charges including unlawful assembly, resisting arrest, obstructing a public thoroughfare and disorderly conduct.
