In a dramatic twist on Tuesday night, Los Angeles police cracked down on protestors violating an overnight curfew, arresting 25 people in the downtown area.
What began as a largely peaceful demonstration against Trump's immigration crackdown took a chaotic turn as isolated acts of looting and vandalism emerged. As darkness fell, police warned remaining protestors to leave, setting off a rapid law enforcement response.
These events follow several days of protests that started on Friday. In response to the rising tensions and sporadic violence, Trump took the extraordinary step of deploying troops—even over objections from the state governor—to restore order.
Authorities expect the number of arrests to grow as they clear the area, highlighting the ongoing clash between protest actions and curfew enforcement. Stay tuned for more updates on this unfolding story! 🚨👀
