President Donald Trump has vowed jail time for protesters who burn US flags, calling them paid “insurrectionists”
Protests in Los Angeles over federal immigration enforcement raids have continued despite a curfew and US President Donald Trump’s authorization of National Guard and Marine deployments.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, groups of rioters continued to gather downtown as mass arrests were initiated.
The protests erupted on Friday after federal agents detained several individuals as part of Trump’s immigration crackdown. Mass demonstrations quickly escalated into riots, widespread looting, vandalism, and violent clashes with police.
Videos online showed protesters torching police cars and US flags, blocking highways, waving signs condemning Trump’s immigration policies, and carrying Mexican flags. Nearly 400 arrests have been reported, with several hundred protesters and multiple law enforcement officers injured.

In response, LA Mayor Karen Bass announced a curfew that took effect Wednesday night from 8pm to 6am, covering a one-square-mile area in downtown LA. Prior to this, Trump deployed at least 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 active-duty Marines to Los Angeles to protect federal officials, law enforcement, and government property.
