LA protests: LAPD says it has made ‘mass arrests’ after mayor issued curfew for downtown – live
The situation in Los Angeles has reached a boiling point, as tensions continue to rise between protesters and law enforcement. The LAPD has reported making ‘mass arrests’ after Mayor Eric Garcetti issued a curfew for downtown LA. The protests, which initially began as a demonstration against Immigration and Customs Enforcement, have now evolved into a widespread movement calling for justice and accountability.
President Donald Trump’s decision to deploy 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines to Los Angeles has only added fuel to the fire, as demonstrators feel their voices are being silenced by a militarized response. California Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta have taken a stand against the Trump administration, filing a lawsuit against what they see as an unlawful overreach of federal power.
As tensions continue to escalate, protesters in other major cities across the country have also taken to the streets in solidarity. From New York City to San Francisco to Atlanta, people are joining together to speak out against injustice and demand change.
The events unfolding in Los Angeles are a stark reminder of the power of grassroots movements and the importance of holding those in power accountable. Stay tuned for live updates on the protests, as we continue to follow this developing
