Los Angeles Enacts Curfew Following Violent Immigration Protests

p.m. to 5:30 a.m. and will apply to downtown Los Angeles, where the majority of protests occurred. The decision was made after a demonstration against the Trump administration's immigration policies turned violent, with protesters throwing rocks and bottles at police officers. The curfew is aimed at maintaining public safety and preventing further damage to property. In a statement, Mayor Bass urged protesters to express their opinions peacefully and promised that the city will not tolerate violence or destruction of property. The protests were sparked by the recent decision of the Trump administration to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The program, which protected young undocumented immigrants from deportation, will be phased out in six months. The decision has sparked outrage and fear among immigrant communities, leading to protests and demonstrations across the country. The Los Angeles Police Department has made several arrests in connection with the protests and has increased its presence in downtown Los Angeles to maintain order. The curfew will remain in effect until further notice and violators may face fines and possible arrest. This is not the first time Los Angeles has seen protests against the Trump administration's immigration policies. In February, thousands of people gathered in downtown Los Angeles to protest the travel ban on several Muslim-majority countries. The city has a long history of standing up for immigrant rights and this recent curfew is another step towards ensuring the safety and well-being of its residents. Mayor Bass has also called for a peaceful and constructive dialogue to address the issues at hand, and hopes that the curfew will help bring an end to the violence and destruction in the city."
