LAPD Accused of 'Trapping' Protesters Before Curfew 'On Purpose' to Arrest Them for 'Breaking Curfew'
President Donald Trump quickly reacted to fledgling riots in Los Angeles County over the weekend by activating the National Guard, a response that drew comparisons to the summer of 2020, when widespread violence and destruction arose from Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots.
Protests sparked by immigration raids in Los Angeles, leading President Donald Trump to deploy National Guard troops, have rapidly spread to cities across the United States.
Others in his administration have echoed that rationale, after the raids triggered ongoing protests and Trump called the National Guard and Marines into the city to quell unrest, clashing with California Governor Gavin Newsom.
Los Angeles police have swiftly enforced a downtown curfew, making arrests moments after it took effect, deploying officers on horseback and using crowd control projectiles to break up a group of hundreds demonstrating against President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown
