Protests live updates: Marines make 1st temporary detention in LA

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said Tuesday that she and the LAPD are considering curfews and other responses in case violence breaks out again.

There was some looting Monday night, but the protests were much smaller and less violent than over the weekend, she said. There's a possibility of one rally on Tuesday, she said.

Bass said the vandalism and violence aren’t acceptable, adding that she feels those individuals aren’t in support of immigrants and "have another agenda."

She noted that "the unrest that has happened are a few blocks within the downtown area -- it is not all of downtown and it is not all of the city."

The mayor argued the National Guard is not stopping the violence because their one job is to guard the federal building downtown and a federal building in Westwood. Asked what the Marines will do in LA, she responded, "I have no idea."

Bass also stressed that the protests stem from Friday’s raids, which she said left immigrant families across LA "terrified" and unsure if they should go to school or work.

She urged ICE to stop the raids. LA is a city of immigrants, Bass said, and she cited the raids' "disruption" to families and the local economy.

While most House Republicans are standing behind President Donald Trump’s decision to deploy Marines and the National Guard to Los Angeles, one moderate Republican, Rep. David Valadao of California, issued a rare criticism of the administration’s operation.

"I remain concerned about ongoing ICE operations throughout CA and will continue my conversations with the administration -- urging them to prioritize the removal of known criminals over the hardworking people who have lived peacefully in the Valley for years," Valadao, who represents an agriculture-heavy district in Central California, wrote on social media.

He said while he supports the right to peacefully protest, "the violence and vandalism happening in Los Angeles is unacceptable and I stand with our law enforcement officers working to protect people and regain control over the situation."

President Donald Trump was asked by a reporter if he would use the Insurrection Act as a response to the protests, and he responded, "If there's an insurrection, I would certainly invoke it. We will see."

"These are paid insurrectionists, these are paid troublemakers," the president claimed, without evidence.

"If we didn’t get involved" and send the National Guard, "right now Los Angeles would be burning, just like it was burning a number of months ago with all the houses that were lost," Trump said, referencing the January wildfires.

On Sunday, when asked by ABC News if he thought an insurrection was taking place in LA, Trump replied, "No, no. But you have violent people, and we are not going to let them get away with it." But by Sunday night, he was referring to the protesters on his Truth Social platform as "violent, insurrectionist mobs" and "paid insurrectionists."

Asked to define insurrection, Trump said, "You actually really just have to look at the site to see what's happening."

Trump told reporters Tuesday that he called Newsom on Monday.

"Called him up to tell him, 'Gotta do a better job,'" he said.

But Newsom wrote on social media that the president never called.

"There was no call. Not even a voicemail," Newsom wrote. "Americans should be alarmed that a President deploying Marines onto our streets doesn’t even know who he’s talking to."

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is criticizing the U.S. for "criminalizing" migration, noting that Mexican immigrants are largely law abiding and are necessary for the U.S. economy.

"The Government of Mexico reiterates its unwavering commitment to the protection and defense of the human rights of Mexicans abroad, regardless of their immigration status," she said in a statement Tuesday. "We make a respectful but firm call to the U.S. authorities to ensure that all immigration procedures are conducted with adherence to due process within a framework of respect for human dignity and the rule of law."

Sheinbaum also called out the LA protesters who turned to violence and destroyed property.

"The burning of patrol cars seems more like an act of provocation than resistance," she said. "We condemn violence from wherever it may come. We call on the Mexican community to act peacefully and not to fall into provocations."
