California National Guard troops protect immigration officers in LA raid

About 90 members of the California National Guard and over a dozen military vehicles like Humvees are helping protect immigration officers Monday as they carry out a raid in a Los Angeles park, defence officials said. The operation in MacArthur Park, which is in a neighbourhood with a large immigrant population about 2 miles west of downtown LA, includes 17 Humvees, four tactical vehicles, two ambulances and the armed soldiers. It comes after President Donald Trump deployed thousands of Guard members and active duty Marines to the city last month following protests over previous immigration raids. Trump has stepped up efforts to realize his campaign pledge of deporting millions of immigrants in the United States illegally and shown a willingness to use the nation's military might in ways other US presidents have typically avoided. The officials told reporters that it was not a military operation but acknowledged that the size and scope of the Guard's participation could make it look

Trump's immigration crackdown put LA under siege against law, says lawsuit

A federal lawsuit filed Wednesday accuses President Donald Trump's administration of systematically targeting brown-skinned people in Southern California during an ongoing immigration crackdown that has put the region under siege. The court filing in US District Court alleges that federal agents have violently and indiscriminately arrested people without probable cause while carrying out immigration raids flooding street corners, bus stops, parking lots, agricultural sites, day labourer corners. The lawsuit asks the court to block the Trump administration's ongoing pattern and practice of flouting the Constitution and federal law during actions in and around Los Angeles. "These guys are popping up, rampant all over the city, just taking people randomly and we want that particular practice to end, Mohammad Tajsar, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, told the Los Angeles Times. In addition, the complaint claims that those arrested are held in .

LA mayor lifts curfew imposed during protests against immigration raids

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is lifting a curfew in downtown Los Angeles. Her Tuesday announcement comes after she first imposed the curfew in response to protests against President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown in the city. Bass, a Democrat, said she's lifting the curfew following successful crime prevention and suppression efforts. On Monday she trimmed back the hours after fewer arrests during evening demonstrations. She says the curfew protected stores, restaurants, businesses and residents from people engaging in vandalism.

Marines take over some security in LA as cities prep for 'No Kings' rallies

After a week of protests over federal immigration raids, about 200 Marines moved into Los Angeles on Friday to guard a federal building in the city while communities across the US prepped for what is anticipated to be a nationwide wave of large-scale demonstrations against President Donald Trump's polices this weekend. The Marine troops with rifles, combat gear and walkie-talkies took over some posts from National Guard members who were deployed to the city after the protests erupted last week. Those protests sparked dozens more over several days around the country, with some leading to clashes with police and hundreds of arrests. The Marines had not been seen on Los Angeles city streets until Friday. They finished training on civil disturbance and have started to replace Guard members protecting the federal building west of downtown, so the Guard soldiers can be assigned to protect law enforcement officers on raids, the commander in charge of 4,700 troops deployed to the LA protests

200 Marines moved into Los Angeles to protect federal property, personnel

About 200 Marines have moved into Los Angeles and will protect federal property, personnel, the commander in charge says. Maj Gen Scott Sherman, commander of Task Force 51 who is overseeing the 4,700 troops deployed, said Friday that the Marines have finished training on civil disturbance. Sherman said the Marines would take over their operations at noon local time in downtown Los Angeles. The development comes a day after the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily blocked a federal judge's order that had directed President Donald Trump to return control of National Guard troops to California, shortly after a federal judge had ruled the Guard deployment was illegal and both violated the Tenth Amendment and exceeded Trump's statutory authority.

Trump admin sues New York over law blocking ice arrests at courthouses

The Trump administration sued New York state Thursday over a law that blocks immigration officials from arresting people at New York courthouses, saying it purposely shields dangerous criminals. The lawsuit in New York's Northern District is the latest in a series of legal actions targeting state or local policies the administration says interfere with immigration enforcement, authorities said. Lawless sanctuary city policies are the root cause of the violence that Americans have seen in California, and New York State is similarly employing sanctuary city policies to prevent illegal aliens from apprehension, US Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in a news release. New York's 2020 Protect Our Courts Act bans federal immigration officials from arresting people who are coming and going from courthouses or in court for proceedings unless they have a warrant signed by a judge. Democratic state Sen Brad Hoylman, the bill's sponsor, said at the time the legislation was a rebuke to the fir

Over 20 detained on first night of LA curfew amid protest crackdown

Police detained more than 20 people, mostly on curfew violations, on the first night of restrictions in downtown Los Angeles and used crowd-control projectiles to break up hundreds of protesters demonstrating against President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, officials said Wednesday. But there were fewer clashes between police and demonstrators than on previous nights, and 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 after five days of protests, which have mostly been concentrated downtown. Demonstrations have also spread to other cities nationwide, including Dallas and Austin in Texas, and Chicago and New York, where thousands rallied and more arrests were made. The LA curfew, which is expected to last several days, covers a 1-square-mile (2.5-square-kilometre) section that includes an area where protests have occurred since Frid
