Overview

  • The Los Angeles Police Department arrested nearly 400 protesters since Saturday, mostly for refusing to disperse, with several facing assault and weapons charges.
  • California Governor Gavin Newsom sued President Trump to halt the deployment of more than 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines supporting ICE operations in Los Angeles.
  • Governor Greg Abbott mobilized Texas National Guard soldiers to San Antonio in advance of protests that saw about 200 people march peacefully from City Hall toward the Alamo.
  • Local authorities closed the Alamo perimeter and city officials, including Mayor Ron Nirenberg, urged protesters to remain peaceful.
  • Demonstrators returned to lower Manhattan’s Foley Square after over 80 detentions earlier in the week as part of a national movement opposing the administration’s goal of 3,000 immigration arrests per day.
