Denver police arrest 36 during anti-ICE protests

State of play: An anti-ICE demonstration organized by the Denver Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL Denver) started shortly after the initial "No Kings" protest ended downtown around 4pm.

• Some of the people who participated in the evening protest were also part of the earlier demonstration, Axios observed Saturday.

Yes, but: DPD said "the vast majority of people" participating in the "No Kings" protest left after the event ended. A separate group of people were protesting Saturday night when the arrests occurred, police said.

Between the lines: Protesters were arrested on investigative charges including failure to obey a lawful order, obstruction of streets, and unlawful throwing of projectiles, police said Sunday.

• At least one group attempted to enter I-25 near 20th and Blake streets, while others allegedly threw objects including rocks and bottles at police officers.

• Officers used loudspeakers to discourage people from entering the highway, though some protesters tried pushing through a line of officers, which DPD declared an "unlawful assembly," per Denver 7.

Between the lines: Police used pepper balls and launched smoke, but did not use tear gas, a department spokesperson told CBS Colorado.

• The agency has made multiple changes in recent years to how it responds to crowds.
