Curfew Enacted in Downtown L.A. as Protests Continue

HeadlineJun 11, 2025

Officials in California have accused Trump of trying to inflame the situation in Los Angeles. On Tuesday, L.A. Mayor Karen Bass enacted a curfew in part of downtown Los Angeles from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Mass arrests were reported. Despite the crackdown, protests continued in L.A. for a fifth day on Tuesday.

Karen Marquez: “This is basic human rights. They’re arresting people that are working. They’re arresting people at school, at graduation. That’s sad, and it’s heartbreaking. We don’t feel safe. We’re standing up for the children that can’t stand up for themselves or their parents.”
