Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has declared a nighttime curfew for parts of downtown LA following days of escalating protests against recent immigration raids. The move comes as demonstrations intensify, with crowds demanding policy changes and accountability.
🛑 Curfew Details: Starting Tuesday at 8 p.m. local time, residents and visitors must avoid the designated downtown zone until 6 a.m. Wednesday. Officials say the restrictions could extend for multiple nights to 'ensure public safety.'
💬 Why Now? Tensions flared after federal agents conducted high-profile raids targeting undocumented communities last week. Protesters have blocked major streets, chanting slogans like 'No borders, no nations!' and waving signs criticizing enforcement policies.
🌆 Local Impact: Businesses in the area are closing early, while public transit routes face adjustments. Mayor Bass urged calm, stating: 'We hear the frustration, but safety must come first.' Social media buzz shows split reactions, with some praising the order and others calling it 'overreach.'
