Tensions in Los Angeles escalated as police detained more than 20 people, mostly for curfew violations, during protests against President Donald Trump's intensified immigration enforcement policies. Officials reported fewer clashes compared to previous nights, but the demonstrations continue to raise significant concerns.
In addition to Los Angeles, protests have spread to cities like Dallas, Austin, Chicago, and New York. Responding to fears of vandalism and theft, LA authorities implemented a curfew expected to remain for several days, highlighting ongoing nationwide unrest over the immigration crackdown.
Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the militarized response, including the deployment of the National Guard, asserting it creates fear rather than safety. Meanwhile, arrests during protests continued as demonstrations sought to oppose the administration's controversial immigration stance.
