LA Curfew: Trump's Strong Response to Protests

Los Angeles Curfew Imposed Amidst Violent Protests: Trump's Response Fuels Tensions Los Angeles is under a city-wide curfew following days of violent protests and clashes related to anti-immigration policies. Mayor Karen Bass announced the curfew, effective from 8 PM to 6 AM local time, stating, "I have declared a local emergency and imposed a nighttime curfew to stop vandalism and looting." The police conducted mass arrests of protestors who refused to disperse from an illegal gathering. The curfew exempts residents, the homeless, accredited media, and emergency personnel. President Trump, deploying additional troops to Los Angeles, intensified his criticism of the protestors. "They won't leave until peace is restored in the city," he declared. These actions prompted sharp criticism from California Governor Gavin Newsom, who accused Trump of "inflaming" the situation. Adding another layer of complexity, reports from US media outlets indicate the presence of nine Italian citizens among the thousands of undocumented immigrants transferred to Guantanamo Bay. A State Department spokesperson clarified that this is a temporary measure before their repatriation. The situation in Los Angeles remains tense, highlighting the deep political divisions within the United States.
