Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced on Tuesday, June 10, that an emergency curfew will be in effect in downtown Los Angeles starting tonight in response to rising tensions in demonstrations following recent immigration raids and the deployment of federal troops in the area.<\/p>\n
This restriction will apply from 8:00 p.m. local time until 6:00 a.m. Wednesday morning and covers an area of approximately 2.5 square kilometers in the center of the city. Authorities have not defined how many days the measure will remain active, although it is expected to be extended for several days if tensions do not ease.<\/p>\n

The decision was taken after five consecutive days of protests and riots, including acts of vandalism such as looting of businesses and road blockades.<\/p>\n
As reported by the mayor in a press conference, \u201cthe curfew has been under consideration for several days, but clearly, after the violence that took place last night (Monday), 23 businesses looted, and just the widespread and generalized nature of the vandalism, we reached a tipping point and declared a state of emergency and called for a curfew\u201d.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell detailed that the only people exempt from the curfew are residents within the designated area, homeless people, accredited media, as well as public safety and emergency services workers.<\/p>\n
He also reported that 67 people were arrested on Tuesday for blocking Highway 101 during a demonstration.<\/p>\n
The protests were sparked last Friday after a series of immigration raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which has generated an atmosphere of tension throughout the city, especially in migrant communities.<\/p>\n
