“Multiple groups continue to congregate on 1st St between Spring and Alameda. Those groups are being addressed and mass arrests are being initiated. Curfew is in effect,” read a post on the LAPD’s social media, sent at 9:09p.m local time on Tuesday night.

The curfew went into effect in part of downtown Los Angeles amid ongoing protests over the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

Tensions are escalating for a fifth day in Los Angeles after protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement gripped the city, with demonstrators clashing with law enforcement and setting vehicles on fire downtown.
