'We Don't Want Them Here' Los Angeles Mayor Says of Guard Troops
- On June 10, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass issued a curfew downtown to stop vandalism and looting amid protests over federal immigration raids and troop presence.
- The demonstrations began June 6 as protests against Trump administration ICE raids targeting undocumented migrants, despite local leaders asserting control and peaceful rallies.
- Bass said the protests were mostly peaceful in a small downtown area with about 30,000 people, where local law enforcement arrested only five individuals amidst injuries on both sides.
- Governor Gavin Newsom denied that President Trump consulted him before sending 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines to the city, accusing the president of being completely untruthful, while Trump asserted that the federal troops helped prevent widespread destruction.
- The curfew and deployment of military forces underscore the ongoing tensions, while Bass has confirmed she will seek another term as mayor in 2026 and emphasized that the current protests are markedly different from the 1992 Rodney King unrest.
