Protesters gathered around 4 p.m. by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office on Central Avenue, north of McDowell Road.

Groups have gathered in protest in the Valley on four consecutive nights.

On Sunday night, more than 1,000 people gathered near 67th Avenue and Camelback Road in protest of the Trump Administration's new immigration policies.

Glendale police say five fully marked patrol cars were damaged during the Sunday demonstration and one was stolen and driven a short distance before it was recovered. The person responsible for unlawfully taking the patrol vehicle has not been located or apprehended

On Saturday night, Phoenix police said there was a large gathering near 35th Avenue and Thomas Road starting around 5 p.m. Police say they asked demonstrators to leave after some people were observed setting off fireworks, driving unsafely, and walking and standing in the streets. The roads in the area were shut down until about 9:30 p.m. Police say some people remained on the sidewalks to demonstrate.

On Friday night, ABC15 received reports of protests that started in the afternoon near 43rd Avenue and McDowell Road. Police said the roadway was closed in response to "reckless and unsafe" activity.
