Heads up, folks! Things are heating up in Los Angeles, and here's the lowdown on the ongoing protests, curfew, arrests, and lawsuit regarding National Guard troops rollout:

Current Scene

City Lights Dim (Curfew)

  • Mayor Karen Bass has enforced a night-time curfew in downtown LA, lasting from 8 PM to 6 AM across a vast area, spanning from the 5 Freeway to the 110 Freeway, and from the 10 Freeway to their intersection point[1][2].
  • The curfew is a response to four consecutive nights of protests resulting in property damage and vandalism[1][2].

Action Against Violators

  • As of Tuesday evening, around 25 protesters have been taken into custody for flouting the curfew[1].
  • In total, about 300 individuals have been arrested during the protests[1].

Military Presence and Controversy

  • The Trump administration has deployed 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to Los Angeles[1].
  • The Marines aren't authorized to make arrests – they primarily shield federal property and personnel[1].
  • Governor Gavin Newsom has accused President Trump of escalating tensions and trampling on state sovereignty due to this deployment[2][3].
  • California Attorney General Rob Bonta, on behalf of the state and Governor Newsom, has filed a lawsuit questioning Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard. The lawsuit claims the deployment is against the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution[1].
  • Governor Newsom is seeking an emergency injunction to halt the deployment, labeling it "illegal" and "overkill." A court hearing is scheduled for Thursday[2].

Financial and Social Implications

  • The deployment's price tag so far reportedly stands at $134 million[2].
  • President Trump insists that without the deployment, the city would be in shambles[2]. In contrast, Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom maintain that such deployment doesn't tackle the core issues of the protests and may intensify tensions further[1][2].
