Mayor Bass extends curfew in Los Angeles as anti-ICE demonstrations intensify, with initially peaceful protests evolving into confrontations requiring law enforcement intervention.
The peaceful protest began shortly after 6 p.m. and soon tripled in size as people congregated in front of a road closure, occupied by at least six members of the California National Guard.
Protests over federal immigration enforcement raids are flaring up around the country, and officials in cities from coast to coast are bracing for major demonstrations against President Donald Trump over the weekend.
Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell sharply countered President Donald Trump’s claims that the city needed National Guard support, emphasizing Wednesday that protests were “nowhere near” that level.
