In the days before protests erupted in Los Angeles, the Trump administration stepped up its efforts to detain migrants — taking into custody those who arrived for routine check-ins while also conducting workplace raids that have sent waves of fear across Southern California and beyond.

Mayor Karen Bass said Sunday that Los Angeles does not need National Guard troops to bolster city police amid protests against raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, despite violent incidents.

President Trump has said the city would be burning without military intervention, but the protests have been confined to a relatively small area.

Arrest made in Los Angeles after a man allegedly attacked CHP officers and set a patrol car on fire during a protest.

Protesters across the country took to the streets for ‘No Kings’ demonstrations against President Trump. ICE raided a swap meet in Santa Fe Springs and police fired tear gas and rubber bullets into the crowd in downtown L.

The development comes a day after an appeals court temporarily blocked a judge’s order that directed President Trump to return control of the California National Guard.

Customs and Border Patrol confirmed it is providing "aerial support" to law enforcement efforts during the protests.

The downtown curfew encircles the downtown civic center, including City Hall, the main county criminal courthouse, LAPD headquarters and federal buildings.
