Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced that the nightly curfew will be extended for a few more days amid ongoing protests against immigration raids.

President Donald Trump on Sunday directed federal immigration officials to prioritize deportations from Democratic-run cities

Mayor Bass extends curfew in Los Angeles as anti-ICE demonstrations intensify, with initially peaceful protests evolving into confrontations requiring law enforcement intervention.

The organized opposition was timed for the day President Trump is hosting a rare U.S. military parade in Washington that's taking place on his 79th birthday.

Newsom continued to condemn Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard and Marines to L.A., saying Trump "chose theatrics over public safety."

Protesters gathered in the area outside of the curfew zone, but there were still some confrontations when police moved to break up a crowd of several hundred people. An unlawful assembly was declared around 6:30 p.m. and according to the Los Angeles Police Department, 71 people were arrested on suspicion of failure to disperse.
