Here’s
the latest.
Gov.
Gavin Newsom of California condemned President Trump’s deployment of the
military in Los Angeles as a “brazen abuse of power” in a televised speech on
Tuesday, as protesters across the United States expressed anger over the Trump
administration’s workplace immigration raids.
Mr.
Newsom spoke shortly before an all-night curfew imposed by Mayor Karen Bass
took effect at 8 p.m. in downtown Los Angeles, forcing crowds to mostly
disperse from areas where police and protesters have clashed for days.
In some
other major cities, protests were larger and more intense on Tuesday than they
had been earlier in the week.
Some
demonstrators in downtown Chicago threw water bottles at police officers and
vandalized at least two vehicles. In New York, police officers made arrests
near federal buildings in Lower Manhattan. And in Atlanta, officers used
chemical agents and physical force to drive a few dozen protesters from their
foothold on a highway.
In Los
Angeles, National Guard troops accompanied federal immigration officers on
raids across the city on Tuesday, an action that California officials had
sought to stop with an emergency court order that would limit military troops
to protecting a complex of federal buildings downtown where protesters have
been gathering.
Mr. Trump
addressed the Los Angeles protests while speaking to troops in North Carolina
earlier on Tuesday. He called the city “a trash heap” and promised to
“liberate” it.
Mr. Trump
has already deployed nearly 5,000 National Guard troops and Marines to the Los
Angeles area. As night fell, a U.S. official said that the Trump administration
was in discussions about deploying military troops to cities beyond Los
Angeles.
Gov. Greg
Abbott of Texas later said that he would deploy the National Guard across the
state to maintain order. His announcement came ahead of a planned protest in
San Antonio on Wednesday evening, according to local media. That made him the
first governor to order the Guard onto the streets of an American city since
the Los Angeles protests began last week.
Here’s
what else to know:
Other
cities: More protests were planned for Wednesday in places like Seattle, St.
Louis and Indianapolis. Mr. Trump threatened that protesters elsewhere would be
met with “equal or greater force” than those in Los Angeles. Read more ›
Court
hearing: A federal judge in California has set a hearing for Thursday afternoon
on the state’s request to restrict the federal government’s use of Marines and
National Guard troops in the Los Angeles area, limiting them only to protecting
federal property. California has also filed suit against the administration
over its move to take control of the state’s National Guard and deploy troops
to the city.
Arrests:
Hundreds of people have been arrested in at least five cities since Friday,
including more than 330 people in Los Angeles, more than 240 in San Francisco
and a dozen in Austin, Texas, officials said. The encounters have turned tense
at times, but the protests have remained largely confined to small sections of
cities.
Disinformation
swirls: Misleading photographs and videos about the protests have spread widely
on social media, rehashing old conspiracy theories and expressing support for
Mr. Trump’s actions. The flood of falsehoods online appeared intended to stoke
outrage toward immigrants and political leaders, particularly Democrats, and
added to the confusion over what exactly was happening on the streets of Los
Angeles. Read more ›
Weekend
warning: Mr. Trump, speaking to reporters on Tuesday, warned against protesting
at the military parade planned for Saturday in Washington. Peaceful protest is
a constitutional right. But, Mr. Trump said, “for those people that want to
protest, they’re going to be met with very big force.”
