A curfew was imposed in downtown Los Angeles to calm demonstrations against federal immigration raids. Tensions flared after President Trump sent troops, and protests spread to other U.S. cities.

The protests taking place across Los Angeles are heightening fears in America's largest county, a place still recovering from the wildfires tragedy.

HOW WE GOT HERE: The protests erupted after Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers on Friday carried out raids in three locations across L.A., where dozens of people were taken into custody. Newsom called the raids “chaotic federal sweeps” that aimed to fill an “arbitrary arrest quota.”

President Donald Trump is moving swiftly to act on his immigration promises with little internal restraint, determined to test the bounds of his executive authority in order to fulfill the promises of his reelection campaign.

LA residents who surveyed the damage after the protests on June 8 were disillusioned by what unfolded in their city and feared what might come next.
