Curfews and Protests in Los Angeles Amid Immigration Raids
Amid escalating tensions surrounding immigration raids, Los Angeles has instituted a nighttime curfew in downtown areas to curtail violent protests and prevent further looting. Over 330 immigrants have been detained in Southern California, prompting outrage and further demonstrations across the city and beyond. The mayor has declared a local emergency, and as Marines stand by, protests continue to polarize the community, leading to mass arrests and significant impacts on local businesses. Arts events have also been canceled as the city navigates this period of unrest.
