Democrats were walking a line between criticizing the White House for sending troops to put down protests in L.A. and the violence that Trump says caused him to act.

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.

Despite the curfew, people are still coming to downtown LA for protests against the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. Many more are expected for today’s “No Kings” event.

With migrant communities already living in fear amid the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, ICE raids in downtown Los Angeles sparked days of protests.

Protesters gathered in the area outside of the curfew zone, but there were still some confrontations when police moved to break up a crowd of several hundred people. An unlawful assembly was declared around 6:30 p.m. and according to the Los Angeles Police Department, 71 people were arrested on suspicion of failure to disperse.

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.

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.”

Law enforcement in Los Angeles have attempted to disperse protesters by using tear gas on Saturday afternoon, aerial footage shows.

Indivisible, a Democratic-aligned network with ties to left-wing billionaire George Soros, is helping to spearhead the “No Kings” protests.

Those who think their preferred party is the one that truly champions the rule of law are falling for partisan lies and likely have a short memory.
