Protesters gathered in the area outside of the curfew zone, but there were still some confrontations when police moved to break up a crowd of several hundred people. An unlawful assembly was declared around 6:30 p.m. and according to the Los Angeles Police Department, 71 people were arrested on suspicion of failure to disperse.

LOS ANGELES − Two people have been charged with throwing firebombs during five days of protests that have rocked a downtown section of the city and prompted President Trump' controversial decision to send 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines here, authorities said Wednesday.

Don’t think that somehow because they called out the National Guard there was violence. There was no violence. I was on the street, I know.”

Democrats were walking a line between criticizing the White House for sending troops to put down protests in L.A. and the violence that Trump says caused him to act.

LA residents who surveyed the damage after the protests on June 8 were disillusioned by what unfolded in their city and feared what might come next.

President Trump ordered National Guard troops to the area after clashes over immigration-enforcement operations.

The California National Guard arrived in downtown Los Angeles early Sunday morning, stopping in front of the Hall of Justice next to city hall. New video shows troops driving through Paramount, near Alondra and Orange.

Indivisible, a Democratic-aligned network with ties to left-wing billionaire George Soros, is helping to spearhead the “No Kings” protests.

It's been five days since anti-ICE demonstrations erupted in Los Angeles, some turning violent between protesters and law enforcement officers, prompting President Trump to deploy National Guard troops and hundreds of Marines.
