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.

Newsom said he would sue the administration, a promise on which the state followed through a day later.

The escalating conflict between Trump and the Democratic governor centers on immigration protests that shook Los Angeles over the weekend.
