Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass issued a curfew for parts of downtown as anti-ICE demonstrations continued for a fifth consecutive day, some of which have turned violent between protesters and law enforcement.

The California governor and Republican president have clashed over troop deployments to quell the Los Angeles riots.

Newsom's 2028 presidential aspirations hang in the balance as the eyes of the nation are on California's clash with immigration authorities.

The curfew extends to sections of downtown Los Angeles where protests have turned into instances of vandalism and looting.

Former George W. Bush adviser Scott Jennings said that Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom just launched his presidential campaign Tuesday night amid the ongoing protests and riots over Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE) raids in California. Newsweek reached out to Newsom's office via email for comment on Tuesday.

Newsom said he's been forced to think about what would happen in the event the Trump administration did secure a federal warrant for his arrest.

Trump said he “called him up,” and defended his decision to send National Guard troops and Marines to the Los Angeles area after protests over his immigration policies erupted. He said he told Newsom he has to do a better job.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said President Donald Trump is “pulling a military dragnet” across Los Angeles during a brief public address on Tuesday.
