Mayor Karen Bass of Los Angeles announced a curfew in a small downtown area as a response to ongoing protests. Set from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., the curfew aims to quell unrest that has persisted for five nights. Police will enforce this with arrests for noncompliance. Protests have caused significant property damage, and California leaders have condemned federal immigration raids. Tensions escalated after President Trump sent military support, which state officials opposed. Despite notable vandalism, Bass noted that the unrest does not represent a citywide crisis, emphasizing the localized nature of the protests.
Mayor Bass emphasized that while there has been significant vandalism and violence, the situation is localized and not indicative of a citywide crisis.
Activists are more agitated after President Trump decided to deploy the National Guard and Marines, exacerbating tensions between federal and state authorities.
