Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has implemented a curfew in downtown L.A. following escalating protests that have led to both peaceful demonstrations and violent clashes. The city is facing an influx of federal forces, including Marines and National Guard members, as tensions rise between officials and protesters. Governor Gavin Newsom has criticized President Trump's federalization of state forces without his consent, stating that it exacerbates tensions. The city remains on alert with over 350 arrests since the protests began, and officials emphasize the need to protect law and order amidst chaos.
"Curfew remains in effect tonight for downtown Los Angeles to stop bad actors... Vandalism and violence will not be tolerated," she emphasized.
"The military's simply not needed. But what he [Trump] is doing is trying to gin things up to create problems," Newsom said.
