Los Angeles police have swiftly enforced a downtown curfew, making arrests moments after it took effect, deploying officers on horseback and using crowd control projectiles to break up a group of hundreds demonstrating against President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.

Demonstrators hit the streets again in L.A. after President Trump deployed the National Guard due to protests against ICE raids.

The mayor said the curfew will run from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. local time, and cover roughly a square mile of downtown. She said she expects it to last several days.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said President Donald Trump is “pulling a military dragnet” across Los Angeles during a brief public address on Tuesday.

Several U.S. cities braced for protests on Wednesday against President Donald Trump's sweeping immigration raids, as parts of the country's second largest city Los Angeles spent the night under curfew in an effort to quell five days of unrest.

Unlike the 1992 riots, protests have mainly been peaceful and been confined to a roughly five-block stretch of downtown LA, a tiny patch in the sprawling city of nearly 4 million people. No one has died. There’s been vandalism and some cars set on fire but no homes or buildings have burned.

More than 60 people gathered in Corpus Christi on June 10 in solidarity with nationwide protests opposing immigration detentions.

Meanwhile, Governor Gavin Newsom asked a court to put an emergency stop to the military helping federal immigration agents, with some guardsmen now standing in protection around agents as they carried out arrests.

Police detained a CNN crew reporting on protests against immigration raids in Los Angeles. CNN correspondent Jason Carroll said an officer escorted them away from the protest late Monday and warned them to not return.
