Over the past week, 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines have been deployed to Downtown LA in response to protests of sweeping immigration raids enacted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. And despite a judge’s ruling this week that the deployment was illegal, an appeals court has allowed the troops to stay put for the time being.

The curfew took effect at 8 p.m. Pacific time and applies until 6 a.m., covering a roughly 1-square-mile area between the 5 Freeway, 110 Freeway and 10 Freeway. Authorities have warned that the curfew could be in place for several days.

The ‘quiet zone,’ a 1-square-mile section of downtown, seemed to be yielding positive results, with less chaos and property damage overnight Wednesday.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles police swiftly enforced a downtown curfew, making arrests moments after it took effect, while deploying officers on horseback and using crowd control projectiles to break up a group of hundreds demonstrating against President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.

“Multiple groups continue to congregate on 1st St between Spring and Alameda. Those groups are being addressed and mass arrests are being initiated. Curfew is in effect,” read a post on the LAPD’s social media, sent at 9:09p.m local time on Tuesday night.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom had a brief victory in his lawsuit against President Trump, but an appeals court quickly blocked a federal judge's order.

At least a dozen groups are planning anti-Trump protests in the Los Angeles area Saturday, following eight days of immigration enforcement demonstrations.
