LA Curfew as Protests Erupt Over Immigration Raids

After days of protests and unrest in response to President Trump's immigration raids, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass imposed an overnight curfew in a one-square-mile downtown area to curb violence and looting. The curfew, running from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., exempts residents, workers, the homeless, credentialed media, and emergency personnel. Law enforcement reported a quieter night with fewer incidents of destruction after the curfew went into effect. Over 23 businesses were looted and hundreds of protestors were arrested in the days leading up to the curfew. National Guard troops were deployed to protect federal agents during ICE operations, while California's governor sought to block the federal use of military personnel in immigration enforcement. City officials warned the curfew could last several days as they monitor the situation.
