For those who aren’t from the area, the largest airport in southern California is LAX. One of the major routes to get to LAX is to take the 405 Freeway and get off on Century Blvd. Today a group of pro-Palestinian protesters blocked off part of Century Blvd. creating a traffic nightmare for shuttle buses and people trying to enter the airport.
Dozens of pro-Palestinian supporters were arrested Wednesday morning after staging a protest near the Los Angeles International Airport.
The group of about 40 people gathered at Century Boulevard near the entrance to LAX around 9 a.m.
A Los Angeles Police Department captain told Eyewitness News the protest shut down the street for about 30 minutes, but other entrances to the airport remained open.
Police arrived as the protesters were piling stuff in the street.
