City of Glendale says it will no longer hold federal immigration detainees
The city of Glendale today said it has ended an agreement to hold federal immigration detainees at its city lockup.
The city said in a news release that it has had an agreement with Homeland Security and ICE since 2007 to house federal immigration detainees but recently reviewed the deal and decided to end it.
In a statement, Glendale said its city manager made the decision after careful evaluation.
"The city recognizes that public perception of the ICE contract—no matter how limited or carefully managed, no matter the good—has become divisive," it said.
At the same time, it said, the decision to end the deal was "not politically driven," and it was made in the interest of public safety.
"The Glendale Police Department is trusted and supported by the residents and businesses, and in turn, our officers work every day to protect and serve with professionalism and care," the city said. "At this time, it is in our best interest to not allow that trust to be undermined."
The city of roughly 188,000 is about 9 miles north of downtown Los Angeles. A little more than half of its residents are foreign-born, and it boasts that it "is home to the largest Armenian population outside of Armenia."
Anyone now in downtown L.A. subject to arrest
Police tonight expanded their unlawful assembly declaration to include all of downtown Los Angeles, generally the area inside a loop created by the 110, 101, 5 and 10 freeways.
The declaration means nobody, with a few exceptions, including members of the news media, should be in the area and will be subject to arrest.
The police department's initial unlawful assembly declaration applied to downtown's Civic Center area, which includes the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building and he adjacent Metropolitan Detention Center, as well as the county courthouse, Grand Park and areas near the 101 Freeway.
The order was expanded as marchers headed toward LA Live, moving from the northeast corner of downtown, where the federal complex exists, to the southwest corner.
Police also said earlier that incendiary devices were being thrown at mounted officers as some protesters had split off and were individually wreaking havoc at different locations.
"Officers are responding to several different locations to disperse crowds," the LAPD's Central Division, which covers downtown, said on X.
Van driver arrested after vehicle said to veer toward protesters
A driver was arrested after protesters chased a van near Union Station in downtown Los Angeles tonight because, they said, it aimed for them.
The van appeared to veer toward protesters multiple times as it drove in circles. What sounded like gunfire came from the van as it drove near demonstrators, who had gathered near the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building.
Police Officer Tony Im said the police department had no information about possible gunfire, and no injuries were reported.
When people chased the vehicle, it took off, struck a utility pole and fled. Im said Los Angeles Sheriff's deputies arrested a driver. It's not clear what allegations led to the arrest.
Dozens arrested amid protests against immigration raids, LAPD says
At least 56 people have been arrested in downtown Los Angeles, authorities said.
Police Chief Jim McDonnell said at a news conference tonight that his officers made 29 arrests yesterday. Capt. Raul Jovel of the department's Central Division reported officers have made 10 arrests so far today.
He also said the California Highway Patrol, which took command of law enforcement along the 101 Freeway as protesters shut it down earlier in the day, made 17 arrests.
Last night's arrests were based on allegations of failure to disperse after police declared an unlawful assembly near the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building, Jovel said.
Among those arrested today was a person who allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail at an officer and one who is alleged to have rammed a motorcycle into a line of officers, injuring one, Jovel said. The reasons for the other arrests weren't immediately clear.
The officer injured by the motorcycle — police initially said two officers were injured — was treated at the scene, police said earlier in the day.
While McDonnell said officers support and protect the right to free speech, he also warned would-be protesters of potential consequences if they break the law: "They're setting themselves up for a criminal future," he said.
LAPD chief asks public to trust the agency
Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell tonight called on the community to trust his department while saying the agency does not have the right to stop ICE.
"Federal authorities have the right to be able to do what they’re doing," McDonnell said. He said he respects ICE as a fellow law enforcement agency and acknowledged its mission but said of the police department: "We don't engage in that activity."
He also pushed back against claims that the LAPD intentionally ignored ICE's calls for help and was purposely slow to respond amid protests, pointing to a specific claim that his forces delayed responding Friday to a federal officer's request for backup by over two hours.
"It didn't happen," McDonnell said.
Los Angeles police weren't given notice of the federal operation and were not in a position to respond immediately when the call came in, McDonnell said, adding that police responded within 38 minutes once they got the call.
McDonnell said the response time was affected by factors like traffic and crowd density.
"Despite these challenges, we moved in quickly and as safely as possible," he said. "At no point did LAPD ignore or intentionally delay any requests for help."
Newsom calls Trump a 'stone-cold liar,' plans to sue administration
Newsom said he is suing the Trump administration over its deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles, something that is usually up to the governor.
The suit will be filed very early tomorrow, Newsom said. Trump's order required the Defense Department to coordinate with Newsom before he sent in the National Guard, Newsom said, adding that the administration failed to do so.
"There's a protocol; there's a process. He didn't care about that. And the worst part? He completely lied," Newsom said, noting that Trump had said on social media that everything was safe because he had sent in the guard, even though the guard had not yet been deployed at the time.
Newsom also called Trump's actions "unconstitutional" and "illegal."
"His mess. We're trying to clean it up," Newsom said.
Newsom also again blamed Trump for the chaos throughout the city, which has extended into its third day: "Donald Trump has created the conditions you see on your TV tonight. He's exacerbated the conditions," Newsom said.
Newsom said that he and Trump spoke for about 20 minutes Friday night but that deploying National Guard troops never came up. Instead, he said, Trump wanted to talk about other issues, and he called Trump a "stone-cold liar."
"There's no working with the president. There's only working for him, and I will never work for Donald Trump," Newsom said.
"Where's your decency, Mr. President?" Newsom continued. "Stop. Rescind this order. It's illegal and unconstitutional. And I said it — I'll say it again: It's immoral. You're creating the conditions that you claim you're solving."
'Tom, arrest me. Let's go,' Newsom tells Trump's 'border czar'
After Trump "border czar" Tom Homan threatened to arrest Newsom and Bass if they interfere with immigration agents on the ground, Newsom had a pointed reaction: "Tom, arrest me."
"He knows where to find me," Newsom said in an interview tonight, telling Homan to leave alone the "poor people just trying to live their lives."
"These guys need to grow up. They need to stop, and we need to push back," Newsom said of the Trump administration. "And I'm sorry to be so clear, but that kind of bloviating is exhausting. So, Tom, arrest me. Let's go."
Bass said at a news conference tonight that she was in direct contact with Homan, but Newsom said he has had no direct communication with Homan whatsoever.
Police break through protester barricades
Police this evening broke through makeshift barricades erected by protesters, pushing them back as they marched forward and fired less-lethal rounds.
The Los Angeles Police Department's Central Division said protesters used chairs, garbage bins and other items, some taken from nearby Grand Park, to create the barriers near the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building.
But shortly before 7:30 p.m. officers in riot gear broke through them and moved on protesters, who retreated, video shows.
Officers on horseback then held a line against the protesters.
With 500 Marines on standby, Trump is live posting about protests on social media
Trump, who has federalized 2,000 troops from the National Guard and has 500 Marines ready to deploy, has continued to post about the situation in Los Angeles on social media.
This hour, Trump has posted to his Truth Social twice. In one post, he says Newsom and Bass should apologize to the people of Los Angeles.
"These are not protesters, they are troublemakers and insurrectionists," Trump said.
In a follow-up post, Trump said simply, “Paid Insurrectionists!”
There has been no indication or evidence that the protesters are paid. Reports appear to indicate that the protests erupted organically after immigration enforcement operations in Los Angeles.
Waymo suspends service in protest area after its vehicles burn
Waymo, which provides driverless rides, is suspending its service in downtown Los Angeles after multiple vehicles erupted in flames amid protests.
The company offers rides from Santa Monica to Marina del Rey and east to downtown along the 10 Freeway, south of the Santa Monica Mountains and the Hollywood Hills.
"We will not be serving any rides in the protest area until it is deemed safe," a Waymo spokesperson said.
Protests have been focused on the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building, the adjacent Metropolitan Detention Center and the 101 Freeway, all near Los Angeles and Temple streets.
The burning vehicles have produced a noxious smell in the area, and some of the fires have been punctuated by explosions within the vehicles.
Los Angeles police warned that the fires, involving Waymo's Jaguar I-Pace all-electric SUVs, involve lithium-ion batteries, which can "release toxic gasses."
The police department said on X that the burning vehicles weren't the only obstacles on downtown streets: Protesters were setting up barricades made up of "chairs, garbage bins, and other items" in an apparent attempt to thwart law enforcement.
