Police gave a five minute warning, video showed, before they moved forward. Protesters could be seen lying on the ground as police tied their hands behind their backs.

Earlier in the night, video from the Citizen app showed a fire burning near the federal building where protesters had gathered. Some people could be seen throwing debris and objects like traffic cones into the fire.

There is “tremendous fear” among the immigrant and refugee communities in Spokane, Washington, its mayor said late Wednesday, as anti-ICE protests flared in the city.

Large groups of protesters took to the streets of Spokane on Wednesday afternoon, carrying signs and blocking roads, according to video from CNN affiliate KHQ. They were demonstrating outside an ICE facility against raids and potential deportations.

More than 30 people have been arrested, according to Spokane police chief Kevin Hall.

Brown earlier Wednesday declared a state of emergency and announced a curfew in certain areas, which will last from 9:30 p.m. to 5 a.m. local time.
