Overview

  • The Pentagon has deployed 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to support ICE operations in Los Angeles, and 2,000 additional Guardsmen arrived Thursday to bolster security.
  • Los Angeles police have arrested more than 200 people for unlawful protests and curfew violations, though officials report that over 99 percent of demonstrators remain peaceful.
  • Mayor Karen Bass and at least two dozen nearby city leaders have demanded a halt to immigration raids and the withdrawal of troops, warning that the curfew will stay in place if operations continue.
  • A nightly curfew from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. remains in effect around the ICE detention center in downtown LA, where authorities say clashes have decreased day by day.
  • Demonstrations have spread to major cities including New York, Chicago, Seattle and San Antonio as communities nationwide express opposition to President Trump’s stricter immigration enforcement.
