A curfew is enforced in downtown Los Angeles following a week of protests against immigration raids resulting in clashes with police. Over 400 have been arrested, primarily for violating the curfew. Mayor Karen Bass stated the curfew aims to prevent disorder fueled by raids and criticized the federal government's intervention. Tensions rose during a recent demonstration when police employed riot gear and projectiles against protesters. Local leaders urged the Trump administration to halt the immigration actions, reflecting broader discontent.
Los Angeles is part of a national experiment to determine how far the federal government can go in taking over power from a local government.
The curfew will continue as long as necessary, especially if immigration raids provoke further unrest in the city.
