A curfew for downtown Los Angeles is now in effect. It began at 8 p.m. local time and will last until 6 a.m. The curfew applies to an area about one square mile in downtown LA, which has been the site of clashes between police and protesters over the past several days.

Protests have taken place in parts of downtown Los Angeles and in several cities in California. Are we in for a repeat this weekend?

As protests continue in Los Angeles, hundreds of U.S. Marines have been deployed to the city as President Donald Trump and Governor Gavin Newsom spar over law enforcement response.

Demonstrators hit the streets again in L.A. after President Trump deployed the National Guard due to protests against ICE raids.

As Democrats seek entrance into ICE facilities, Republicans condemn the “riots” and call for investigation into LAPD’s response.

The protests began Friday after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents carried out coordinated raids across Los Angeles, detaining dozens of workers at warehouses and other worksites. The arrests sparked immediate backlash, with demonstrators converging outside federal buildings, blocking freeways, and in some cases clashing with police.

President Donald Trump has deployed 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines to LA. But California Gov. Gavin Newsom and California Attorney General Rob Bonta are suing the Trump administration, saying they unlawfully "trampled over" California’s sovereignty when they federalized the California National Guard.

State law, in fact, specifically prohibits local law enforcement from working with federal immigration enforcement operations in most instances.
