LA Curfew, Troop Deployment Amid Immigration Protest

News summary

Los Angeles imposed a nighttime curfew in its downtown area as protests against President Donald Trump's immigration raids continued for a fifth day, with incidents of looting and vandalism amid largely peaceful demonstrations. President Trump deployed 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to Los Angeles to protect federal personnel and buildings, a move strongly opposed by California Governor Gavin Newsom, who has filed a lawsuit to block the deployment as an abuse of presidential power. Mayor Karen Bass declared a local emergency, citing the need to curb property damage after 23 businesses were looted and nearly 200 arrests were made in a single day. While most protests remained peaceful, some violence occurred after dark, prompting the targeted curfew. The federal troop deployment has sparked a national debate about the use of military force on U.S. soil, intensifying conflict between state and federal officials. Protests and unrest have also spread to cities including Austin, New York, Chicago, and Dallas.
