LA ICE protests, Day 11: Reduced curfew hours announced for downtown LA
Curfew for parts of Little Tokyo pushed back
Curfew for parts of downtown Los Angeles got pushed back to 10 p.m., allowing restaurants to serve dinners and businesses to celebrate Shohei Ohtani's big day with the Dodgers. The curfew comes as the city looks to minimize unrest that broke out in response to recent ICE raids happening across Southern California.
It's been over a week since immigration raids and protests broke out in Los Angeles. While many continue to protest ICE and the Trump administration, the majority of protests have become smaller and remain peaceful.
In response to that, Mayor Karen Bass reduced the hours of curfew, citing "successful crime prevention and suppression efforts".
Meanwhile, President Trump has vowed to double down on the ongoing ICE raids happening across the United States.
Timeline of events
Below are live updates of the ongoing protests happening across Southern California (all times listed in Pacific Standard Time):
Adjusted curfew kicks in

Banning face masks for officers
6 p.m.: California lawmakers introduced a new bill that would ban local, state, and federal law enforcement officers from covering their face while conducting official business. If approved, the bill would require all law enforcement officials to show their faces and be identifiable by their uniform, which should carry their name or other identifier. It would not apply to the National Guard or other troops and it would exempt SWAT teams and officers responding to natural disasters. Officers could face a misdemeanor charge if they do not comply.

Big picture view:
The recent raids come in the wake of President Donald Trump's nationwide push for mass deportations.
Internal government data shows ICE arrests during President Donald Trump's second term have already surpassed 100,000 this week, including over 2,000 arrests on both Tuesday and Wednesday. This marks a dramatic increase from the daily average of approximately 660 arrests during the first 100 days of the Trump administration.
These numbers reportedly move closer to the stated goal of top administration officials, such as White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, who has pushed for ICE to conduct "a minimum" of 3,000 arrests each day.
