Shafaq News/ Authorities in Los Angeles have arrested nearly400 individuals during a wave of protests against immigration policies sweepingacross California, officials announced Thursday.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, most arrestsinvolved individuals who remained in protest zones despite repeated dispersalorders from law enforcement. A smaller group faces more serious charges,including assaulting officers and unlawful possession of a Molotov cocktail anda firearm.
Although tensions had flared over several nights, the mostrecent evening saw fewer clashes between demonstrators and security forces. Anighttime curfew, previously imposed by Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass in thedowntown area, is being credited with helping reduce unrest and restore ameasure of order.
Officials view the curfew as a preventive measure aimed atcurbing “vandalism and looting,” which they attribute to a limited number ofagitators. “If the raids continue, and if we see soldiers walking in ourstreets, I imagine the curfew will remain in effect,” Bass stated.
By early Thursday, the atmosphere in the city center hadbegun to normalize. Pedestrians were walking dogs along familiar routes, whileoffice workers resumed their morning routines—coffee cups in hand—amid alighter police presence.
Protests have also spread to other major US cities,including Dallas and Austin in Texas, as well as Chicago and New York.Thousands have joined the demonstrations, leading to additional arrests inmultiple locations.
