Police detain more than 20 people on first night of curfew aimed at protests in downtown Los Angeles
Police detained more than 20 people, mostly on curfew violations, on the first night of restrictions in downtown Los Angeles. Officials said Wednesday that the police used crowd-control projectiles to break up hundreds of protesters demonstrating against President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown. But there were fewer clashes between police and demonstrators than on previous nights. By daybreak, the downtown streets were bustling with residents walking dogs and commuters clutching coffee cups. Officials said the curfew was necessary to stop vandalism and theft by agitators looking to cause trouble after five days of protests, which have mostly been concentrated downtown.
