California Gov. Gavin Newsom said President Donald Trump is “pulling a military dragnet” across Los Angeles during a brief public address on Tuesday
A curfew for downtown Los Angeles is now in effect. It began at 8 p.m. local time and will last until 6 a.m. The curfew applies to an area about one square mile in downtown LA, which has been the site of clashes between police and protesters over the past several days.
4:56 p.m. EDT U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer turned down Newsom’s request for an emergency ruling that would have blocked federal troop deployment in Los Angeles, giving Trump until Wednesday at 2 p.m. EDT to file a response to Newsom’s lawsuit (Newsom can file his response to Trump by Thursday at 12 p.m. EDT).
