Los Angeles Ends Curfew as Newsom Pushes to Reclaim National Guard

A court is expected to soon rule on the legality of a federal troop deployment that Governor Gavin Newsom argues oversteps presidential authority.

Overview

  • The Los Angeles mayor lifted the weeklong nighttime curfew after protests triggered by ICE immigration raids subsided.
  • Governor Gavin Newsom has initiated legal action to regain state control over the 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines deployed by President Trump.
  • A federal judge ruled the troop deployment illegal but allowed a stay pending an appeal lodged by the Justice Department.
  • Authorities made nearly 600 arrests during intermittent violence that included looting, arson of robotaxis and clashes with police.
  • The deployment of federal troops without the governor’s consent is the first such use of the National Guard in California since 1965.
