Los Angeles police made mass arrests late Tuesday after protesters violated a newly imposed curfew following five days of demonstrations against Trump's immigration crackdown, which were marred by looting and vandalism.
Los Angeles police began arresting individuals in the city’s downtown area as groups gathered in defiance of an overnight curfew following a fifth day of protests against President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.
The protests, which have been largely peaceful, were marred by incidents of looting and vandalism in the United States' second-largest city, sparked by increased arrests by immigration authorities.
These demonstrations, which began on Friday, included isolated acts of violence, prompting Trump to send in troops, despite opposition from the state governor. As the protests escalated after dark on Tuesday, only a few protesters remained downtown an hour into the curfew. Police made several arre
sts and warned those still present to disperse.
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) posted on X that "multiple groups continued to gather on 1st St between Spring and Alameda" within the designated curfew zone. "These groups are being addressed, and mass arrests are being initiated."
As of Tuesday evening, 25 people had been a
rrested on suspicion of violating the curfew, according to the Los Angeles Times, citing an LAPD spokesperson. The number of arrests is expected to increase as law enforcement continues to clear the area.
Earlier, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass explained that the curfew was implemented "to stop the vandalism, to stop the looting."
