Overview

  • Mayor Karen Bass lifted the downtown curfew effective June 17 following a decline in protests over President Trump’s immigration enforcement.
  • The curfew was first imposed on June 10 in response to violent clashes, vandalism and looting during protests against ICE raids.
  • On June 16 Bass shortened curfew hours after no arrests were reported Sunday night, marking a steady drop in nighttime incidents.
  • President Trump deployed roughly 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to support local authorities and safeguard federal sites.
  • The LAPD logged 575 arrests since protests began June 7 and Bass said she stands ready to reinstate restrictions if unrest resurfaces.
