🇺🇸 *Los Angeles Imposes Curfew in Downtown Area Amid Rising Violence During Protests*
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass declared a curfew lasting from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. in a one-square-mile area of downtown Los Angeles following several nights of violence and looting amid protests against federal immigration raids.
The curfew aims to curb the recent surge in vandalism, looting, and violence that followed largely peaceful protests against ICE raids.
Mayor Bass said the curfew could last several days, with law enforcement and elected officials deciding on its continuation. Residents of the curfew zone, homeless individuals, accredited media, and emergency personnel are exempt.
