Los Angeles Police Order Immigration Protesters Downtown to Return Home

Police chief calls violence during protests 'disgusting'

Police declared all of downtown Los Angeles to be an unlawful assembly area and ordered protesters to go home on Sunday night after a third day of demonstrations against President Donald Trump's immigration policy that sometimes included burning cars and hurling bottles at officers.

National Guard troops - deployed by Trump over the weekend to help quell the protests in a move that California Governor Gavin Newsom called unlawful - guarded federal government buildings on Sunday.

The unrest in Los Angeles has become a flashpoint in Trump's signature effort to clamp down on illegal immigration using extreme protocols from ICE.
