Mayor Karen Bass of Los Angeles announced on Tuesday evening at a press conference that the city will impose an evening clock in the center of Los Angeles as part of his strategy to suppress protests that entered a fifth night.
The curfew starts at 8 p.m. Pacific Time and Til at 6 o’clock in the morning said that the police will arrest everyone who defies the command. The curfew is expected to take a few days.
Protests have broken out in parts of the center of Los Angeles during the day and evening hours from Friday evening and will continue on Tuesday. Dozens of protesters have tried to cross us 101 and buildings in the city center have received “considerable damage” from graffiti and broken windows, said Mayor Bass.
The political leaders of California have urged the Trump government to stop immigration raids that caused the demonstrations. Activists were further inflamed by President Trump’s decision to send the National Guard and the Marines to California about the objection of the State Governor, Gavin Newsom.
“I think it is important to point out, not to minimize vandalism and the violence that has space there, it has been important,” said Mayor Bass. “But it is extremely important to know that what is happening in this one square miles, has no influence on the city. Some images of the protests and the violence gives the appearance as if this is a city -wide crisis and it is not.”
Los Angeles set up a overnight evening clock when intense protests grew through the country in 2020 after the murder of George Floyd. Still, Peaceful demonstrators defended those orders And kept marching.
