Hey friends! Have you heard what’s happening in Los Angeles? 🌴 The mayor, Karen Bass, just set a curfew for downtown LA because of big protests! 😮
So, here’s the scoop: People have been protesting against ICE (that’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement) because of raids targeting immigrants without legal documents. The protests got pretty intense, with some clashes between the protesters and the police, and even some vandalism and looting at night. 🛑🚓
To keep everyone safe, the mayor decided that no one should be out in downtown LA from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., unless they have a good reason. The police have arrested over 300 people in the last two days! 😲
But that’s not all! President Trump sent 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines to LA after four days of protests. Governor Gavin Newsom of California wasn’t happy about this. He thinks the president shouldn’t have sent troops without the state’s agreement. He even tried to stop it in court, but a judge said no. ⚖️
Governor Newsom said that sending the military might make things worse and is worried about people being treated unfairly just because of how they look. He asked everyone to stand up peacefully. ✌️
Across the country in New York City, thousands of people are also protesting against the immigration policies. One young woman said, “I’m here to stand up for those who don’t have a voice, especially for my mom.” 💕 Another person said she’s afraid for her family’s safety. 😔
This is a big deal, and many people are hoping for a peaceful solution where everyone’s voices are heard. Let’s stay informed and support each other! 🌟
