The demonstrations led to clashes between protesters and law enforcement, with reports of vandalism and some looting, particularly during late-night and early-morning hours. The curfew began at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, June 10, and will remain in effect until 6 a.m. on Wednesday, June 11. City officials aim to restore order and ensure public safety amid growing unrest.

Protests erupted in downtown Los Angeles as demonstrators marched toward the courthouse where labor leader David Huerta was being held, prompting a heightened federal response. In a controversial move, the Trump administration announced the temporary deployment of about 700 U.S. Marines to the city to support until more National Guard troops arrive. While the Insurrection Act was not invoked—meaning the troops won’t engage in direct law enforcement—the decision marks a rare use of military forces for domestic unrest. The situation remains fluid, and officials suggest it could change. The deployment sparked criticism, especially from Democrats, who accuse President Trump of unnecessarily escalating tensions. California Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the move as illegal and vowed to sue, prompting Trump to say he would support Newsom’s arrest. The unrest follows days of protests and clashes over Trump’s aggressive immigration enforcement, which has become a major point of contention between political parties.
U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered a federal crackdown in Los Angeles as protests over immigration raids entered their fourth day. Calling the situation a “migrant invasion,” Trump deployed National Guard troops and warned of mass deportations. He accused illegal migrants and violent mobs of attacking federal agents to disrupt deportation operations. Trump tasked top officials, including the Secretaries of Homeland Security and Defense, to take decisive action to “liberate” the city. On Sunday, 300 National Guard troops were stationed at key locations, including the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building, where detainees from recent raids were being held. Authorities used pepper spray, tear gas, batons, and flash-bang grenades to disperse demonstrators, some of whom blocked major roadways. The protests underscore deep tensions between Trump’s hardline immigration policies and the Democratic leadership of Los Angeles, a city with a large immigrant population. Trump vowed that order would be restored and illegals expelled.
