Another Night of Curfew Looms in LA as Protests Persist
Prolonged curfew duration in Los Angeles by an additional night - Expanded curfew duration in Los Angeles by an additional evening.
Gear up, folks! The curfew in LA's downtown district is set to persist for another night, beginning at 8 PM on Wednesday and running till 6 AM the following morning. This announcement came from the LA Police Department, citing the need to manage ongoing protests[1][2].
In a move entailing a potential lengthy duration, Mayor Karen Bass implemented the curfew on Tuesday[1]. Yet, the curfew wasn't exclusively due to these demonstrations. Last night also saw expressions of disapproval against President Trump's immigration policies. Fortunately, these protests largely remained peaceful, with similar occurrences taking place in other urban centers like New York and Philadelphia, resulting in numerous arrests[1].
Protesters have been demonstrating for days against Trump's uncompromising immigration stance and his deployment of ICE operations[1][2]. In response, the US government has mobilized an impressive force, deploying approximately 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marine Corps troops in Los Angeles, an action met with opposition from California's Governor Gavin Newsom[1]. As of now, no Marine Corps troops have popped up in downtown LA, as per the media's account[1].
Stay tuned, for the weekend may witness further escalations.
