LOS ANGELES, June 12 (Xinhua) — More than 220 people were arrested on the first night of a curfew in Los Angeles amid protests against immigration raids, authorities in the second-largest U.S. city said Wednesday morning.
There were 203 arrests for failure to disperse and 17 for violating curfew, the Los Angeles Police Department said in a news release.
In addition, three people were arrested for carrying a firearm, one for assaulting a police officer with a deadly weapon and another for pointing a laser at a police aircraft, the police department said.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced Tuesday evening a curfew in parts of downtown Los Angeles from 8 p.m. Tuesday to 6 a.m. Wednesday local time. She said local authorities imposed the limited curfew in response to looting and vandalism that occurred in downtown on Monday night following largely peaceful daytime protests.
Hundreds of people have been arrested since last Friday as protests erupted against federal immigration enforcement.
US President Donald Trump has ordered more than 4,000 National Guard troops and about 700 Marines to Los Angeles, despite objections from California Governor Gavin Newsom and other local officials. –0–
