Los Angeles was put on lockdown after mayor Karen Bass finally caved and declared a local emergency while Governor Gavin Newsom tore into President Trump for exacerbating the immigration chaos.
The riot-ravaged Downtown area will be a no-go zone from 8pm to 6am on Tuesday through Wednesday after violent demonstrators set fire to cars, looted buildings and attacked officers with rocks, fireworks and cement bricks in harrowing scenes of destruction.
Bass said the curfew is expected to last several days and will encompass a square mile radius around the epicenter of the violence in Downtown LA.
'If you do not live or work in downtown LA avoid the area. Law enforcement will arrest individuals who break the curfew, and you will be prosecuted,' Bass said.
Less than an hour after the curfew was imposed, Newsom lashed out at Trump in a speech that aired on national television.
The Golden State governor blamed the federal government for the ongoing crisis and issued a chilling warning that chaos could soon engulf other states too.
'Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves, but they do not stop there,' Newsom warned.
'This is a president who in just over 140 days, has fired government watchdogs that could hold him accountable, accountable for corruption and fraud. He's declared a war, a war on culture, on history, on science, on knowledge itself. Databases, quite literally, are vanishing.'
Newsom claimed that 'when Donald Trump sought blanket authority to commandeer the National Guard. He made that order apply to every state in this nation.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Bass Ackwards, the Commie Mayor of Lost Angeless, waited until she could collect her 10% from the looters.
It’s a ‘mostly peaceful’ curfew...
Newsom has gone off the rails. His brain is fried with TDS. The man will need a straitjacket soon and a padded cell.
Trump the Destroyer, the mortal threat to the universe, the worst thing in existence.

Too much peace breaking out?
SEI mayor zero executive experience, low IQ to boot
Police have declared an unlawful assembly in Denver, Colorado as anti-ICE rioters have taken over the streets
Teargas has been deployed
> ...will encompass a square mile radius around the epicenter of the violence...
What the heck is a "square mile radius"? Do these journalists have a grasp of sophomore high school geometry? (I guess not)
Some Democrats don’t remember the Portland riots where the local mayor marched with rioters and the Governor didn’t want to crack down on the nightly destruction of federal facilities.......until Trump threatened to send in the national guard and labeled the Oregon Governor as weak.
What they fail to understand is that Trump has been here before and understands what needs to be done. Because the LA Mayor and CA Governor did not act to protect federal agents and federal facilities, Trump called out the National Guard and mobilized a Marine battalion.

I think curfew is working...I did watch the 11 o’clock news...LAPD officers are making arrests for curfew violation...
Democrats are stating that President Trump made things worse...By sending National Guard...They apparently do not realize how silly they sound...
National Guard soldiers guarded federal buildings...They were not working with LAPD officers, making arrests...
I do not think that Marines will be out there with cops, making arrests...
I think National Guard prevented thugs from destroying the federal building...Things would have been worse if the thugs were successful in destroying the federal building...
I watched a Dr. Drew interview with Alex Villanueva the former Sheriff of Los Angeles County. Alex said combined LAPD and sheriff officer staffing is down 4000 from the time of the BLM riots..
If the WOKE buffoon sitting in the mayor’s office had a clue she would have stopped this insurgency before the rioting, looting and arson forced her hand.
After the damage is done, idiot. Bring in the water after the fire burned down the city
“Newsom claimed that ‘when Donald Trump sought blanket authority to commandeer the National Guard. He made that order apply to every state in this nation.”
Hey New Scum, read the Constitution, Article 2 Section 3:
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States;
Karen Bass the communist scum tried to make Los Angeles and California into a huge no-go zone for ICE / aka “La Migra”. Thomas Homan and Pres DJT ramped up their actions (Marines and National Guard) into a big fat FAIL for this commie rat and the anarchists out in the streets.
A win for the good guys. Elon needs to take notice how difficult it is to get great things done in the USA for Trump47.
Kind of like having the firetrucks on site as the first curtains start to go up - but not turning on the water until 3/4 of the structure is in flames....
If the Feds are gonna stop it anyway, might as well pretend you’re leading the parade for a bit.
> What the heck is a “square mile radius”?<
It would be a radius of .564 miles. But I doubt thatโs what it will be since math is racist.
