President Donald Trump on Sunday directed federal immigration officials to prioritize deportations from Democratic-run cities
No protester was arrested overnight on Sunday since the city of Los Angeles enacted a temporary nightly curfew in a portion of downtown Los Angeles.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass implemented a curfew downtown that took effect Tuesday night amid continued protests against President Trump's immigration policies. CBS News' Elise Preston has the latest updates.
Officers rush into crowd, firing less-lethal rounds as demonstrators chant, "Shame." Meanwhile, downtown L.A. shop owners try to cope with curfew as ICE raids spread throughout L.A. County.
By late morning it was clear, June 6 was no ordinary Friday in LA. Federal agents arrested people in and around downtown Los Angeles. Some day laborers near a Home Depot in Westlake, others working in the Fashion District at Ambience apparel.
“Multiple groups continue to congregate on 1st St between Spring and Alameda. Those groups are being addressed and mass arrests are being initiated. Curfew is in effect,” read a post on the LAPD’s social media, sent at 9:09p.m local time on Tuesday night.
