Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass issued a curfew for parts of downtown as anti-ICE demonstrations continued for a fifth consecutive day, some of which have turned violent between protesters and law enforcement.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom gave a televised address on Tuesday in the wake of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations that sparked days of protests in the Los Angeles area and the deployment of hundreds of National Guard troops and U.

The California Governor has sued the U.S. President over the mobilization of the National Guard, calling it “an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism.”

Newsom's 2028 presidential aspirations hang in the balance as the eyes of the nation are on California's clash with immigration authorities.
