   A protest on the 110 Freeway brought morning traffic to a halt for more   
   than an hour Wednesday in downtown Los Angeles.   
      
   Protesters linked arms at about 9 a.m. on the southbound side of the   
   freeway near Third Street. California Highway Patrol officers were at the   
   scene, where the morning drive ground to a halt.   
      
   Backups extended to nearby streets and freeways. Traffic on the southbound   
   110 Freeway was jammed for miles, well past the 5 Freeway.   
      
   CHP officers began taking people into custody just before 10 a.m. Most of   
   the protesters were removed by 10:30 a.m., but several cars appeared to   
   have stalled due to mechanical problems, adding to traffic headaches. Tow   
   trucks removed the vehicles.   
      
   The CHP said 75 people were arrested, but it was not immediately clear   
   whether all were protesters.   
      
   The 110 Freeway connects downtown LA with Long Beach to the south and San   
   Gabriel Valley communities to the northeast.   
      
   The protest was organized by a group calling for a lasting Israel-Hamas   
   War ceasefire in Gaza. In November, dozens of protesters shut down lanes   
   on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge for roughly four hours, demanding   
   that President Joe Biden call for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war.
