Peaceful demonstrations in downtown LA escalate to violent confrontation with police using tear gas as protesters throw objects, prompting warnings from LAPD and Homeland Security.

While the president contends that the L.A. protests against his immigration policy have been chaotic, the scenes are not as violent.

Despite the curfew, people are still coming to downtown LA to participate in immigration protests. Local residents are living with around-the-clock law enforcement and experiencing vandalism.

LA residents who surveyed the damage after the protests on June 8 were disillusioned by what unfolded in their city and feared what might come next.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom delivered a statewide address on Tuesday in the wake of immigration operations that sparked days of protest in Los Angeles and the deployment of hundreds of National Guard and U.S. Marines troops to the area by President Trump.

Don’t think that somehow because they called out the National Guard there was violence. There was no violence. I was on the street, I know.”

United States Army North confirmed to ABC News that Marines at the Wilshire Federal Building have made the first temporary detention among the troops sent to Los Angeles on Friday.

Mayor Karen Bass says people involved in causing damage during anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles will be prosecuted.
