Los Angeles police enforced a downtown curfew after mass arrests during protests over Trump’s immigration raids. Mayor Karen Bass cited looting and vandalism as reasons for the curfew, which covers a one-square-mile area. Trump deployed 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines, vowing to "liberate" LA, sparking backlash from California Governor Gavin Newsom, who called it a "brazen abuse of power." ICE raids in Latino areas triggered unrest, with over 200 arrests reported. The Pentagon says the military deployment will cost $134 million. Protesters clashed with police in cities including Atlanta, New York, and San Antonio as tensions rise nationwide. (PC: BBC)
