Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti imposed a city-wide curfew after looting and vandalism in the city worsened amid protests over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency for L.A. County and sent the National Guard to help quell violence in Los Angeles amid protests over the death of George Floyd.
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said on Saturday he had asked Newsom to send 500 to 700 members of the National Guard to help local law enforcement deal with the worsening looting and vandalism in the county's second-largest city. The California National Guard is being deployed to Los Angeles overnight to support our local response to maintain peace and safety on the streets of our city.Earlier on Saturday, Garcetti expanded a curfew, initially just for downtown Los Angeles, to the entire city from 8 p.m. on Saturday to 5:30 a.m. on Sunday. Those traveling between work, for medical purposes, or those who are emergency responders are exempt from the curfew, Garcetti said.
