Protests against the Trump administration's immigration policies have expanded to dozens of U.S. cities, with authorities imposing curfews and making arrests in Los Angeles as demonstrations intensify. Police confirmed multiple arrests in downtown LA Tuesday evening, where a localized curfew remains active amid growing tensions.
U.S. media reports indicate the protests, initially concentrated in Southern California, have now emerged in major urban centers from New York to Chicago. While most gatherings remain peaceful, clashes between law enforcement and demonstrators have been reported in several areas.
The movement has drawn diverse participants, including immigrant advocacy groups and civil rights organizations, who argue recent federal immigration measures disproportionately affect vulnerable communities. Social media footage shows crowds chanting slogans and carrying signs reading "No Borders in Humanity" and "Families Belong Together."
Local officials urge protesters to comply with public safety measures while emphasizing the right to peaceful assembly. Analysts suggest the nationwide spread reflects deepening societal divisions over immigration policy ahead of the 2024 election cycle.
