Over the past week, 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines have been deployed to Downtown LA in response to protests of sweeping immigration raids enacted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. And despite a judge’s ruling this week that the deployment was illegal, an appeals court has allowed the troops to stay put for the time being.

Mayor Karen Bass put a curfew in place for a portion of the downtown area of Los Angeles on Tuesday. This came as Bass declared a local emergency as a result of the escalating protests throughout the city.

“The Los Angeles Mayor’s Office has updated guidance on the downtown L.A.-area curfew and has granted an exception to allow individuals with tickets to an indoor venue to attend that event as scheduled,” said a statement released by the group that manages performances at the L.A. Music Center.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced the curfew on Tuesday. It encompasses a one-mile area of the city and is in effect from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. PT.

The curfew took effect at 8 p.m. Pacific time and applies until 6 a.m., covering a roughly 1-square-mile area between the 5 Freeway, 110 Freeway and 10 Freeway. Authorities have warned that the curfew could be in place for several days.

In a recent court hearing, Snelling criticized a plan to allow CPD to issue 30-minute curfews, even though he defended the ordinance to the Sun-Times last week.

The curfew extends to sections of downtown Los Angeles where protests have turned into instances of vandalism and looting.

A crackdown on the curfew for Birmingham’s youth is part of the police department’s strategic plan for the city’s summer months. Chief Michael Pickett on Friday announced several initiatives that he said will make Birmingham safer for both kids and adults.
