Los Angeles protests have entered their seventh day under a strict curfew, as U.S. Marines and National Guard units bolster local law enforcement. Since Thursday, June 12, areas across the city have seen heightened security measures.
Residents report feeling the impact of nightly curfews, with major streets cleared and checkpoints set up in neighborhoods near downtown. The presence of military personnel marks a notable escalation in the city’s approach to crowd control.
Despite the heavy security, protesters remain on edge, gathering in key public spaces before the curfew takes effect. The tension is palpable as officials balance public safety with citizens’ right to assemble.
As Los Angeles navigates this challenging moment, all eyes are on city leaders and the path forward, with protesters continuing to voice their concerns amid unprecedented security measures.
