California will face off with Washington in court on Thursday over President Donald Trump's deployment of U.S. troops in Los Angeles after demonstrators again took to the streets in major cities to protest Trump's immigration crackdown.
The protests taking place across Los Angeles are heightening fears in America's largest county, a place still recovering from the wildfires tragedy.
The curfew went into effect in part of downtown Los Angeles amid ongoing protests over the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.
The National Guard has at times detained protesters in its deployment to Los Angeles, an official said Wednesday, as demonstrations against Immigration and Customs enforcement raids spread to other major cities.
Since the start of the protests, the Los Angeles Police Department has arrested 385 people, USA Today reported on Wednesday.
Actor John Leguizamo is among the celebrities who've commented on the protests, saying that "protesting is as American as apple pie."
The downtown curfew encircles the downtown civic center, including City Hall, the main county criminal courthouse, LAPD headquarters and federal buildings.
