Protests that break out remain mostly peaceful during the day, but at night agitators engage in fiery clashes with police.

The curfew was instated on Tuesday after days of protests against a string of immigration enforcement operations throughout Southern California. Bass said the curfew will be enacted daily until it's no longer deemed necessary.

The National Guard has at times detained protesters in its deployment to Los Angeles, an official said Wednesday, as demonstrations against Immigration and Customs enforcement raids spread to other major cities.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday did not rule out invoking the Insurrection Act if necessary to squash violence at the Los Angeles protests. “If there’s an insurrection, I would certainly invoke it,” Trump said.

LA residents who surveyed the damage after the protests on June 8 were disillusioned by what unfolded in their city and feared what might come next.

Mayor Karen Bass issued a curfew for downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday “to stop the vandalism, to stop the looting.”
