Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has introduced a curfew for a small a part of downtown Los Angeles amid protests in opposition to United States President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.

“Many companies have now been affected or vandalised. Final evening, there have been 23 companies that had been looted and I feel should you drive by downtown LA, the graffiti is in all places and has induced vital damages to companies and plenty of properties,” Bass stated.
“So my message to you is: If you don’t dwell or work in downtown LA, keep away from the realm. Regulation enforcement will arrest people who break the curfew and you can be prosecuted.”
Bass stated she expects the curfew to stay in impact for a number of days, however harassed that the order solely applies to a small portion of town, which covers 502 sq. miles.
“I feel it is very important level this out, to not minimise the vandalism and violence that has taken place there – it has been vital – as a result of this can be very necessary to know that what is occurring on this one sq. mile isn’t affecting town,” Bass stated.
“Among the imagery of the protests and the violence provides the looks that this can be a city-wide disaster and it isn’t.”
