Police in Denver responded in full force on Tuesday night to marches downtown after an early evening protest at the Colorado State Capitol.

Video captured near the intersection of 20th Street and Little Raven Street in Denver showed a large crowd of demonstrators and smoke just before 10 p.m. At one point in the video, a marcher threw an object that looked to be a pepper ball back at police.

The Denver Police Department confirmed several people were arrested on Tuesday night; three people were arrested for graffiti, one for interference with police authority, one for unlawful throwing of projectiles and failure to obey a lawful order, seven people for obstruction of streets and failure to obey a lawful order, two for obstruction of streets, failure to obey a lawful order and interference with police authority, one for second-degree assault, and two for second-degree assault to a peace officer. 

Police also blocked the entrance to Interstate 25 at Broadway so marchers couldn't enter, and there was another large police presence at Market Street and 20th.

Break-off groups from an earlier peaceful protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement grew more chaotic as the night went on. Denver police told CBS News Colorado rocks and bottles were thrown at officers near Coors Field.

Some video was circulating online showing smoke. CBS News Colorado contacted police to find out what it was. Their final report wasn't available so wasn't known what was used, but they confirmed to CBS News Colorado that no tear gas had been used.

Similar confrontations have been happening in several other cities across the country, including Los Angeles. Protests and marches have been going on there for days as demonstrators have been clashing with police. Many protests -- including in Texas, in Chicago, and now in Denver -- have come about in response to the situation in California.
