Los Angeles curfew to continue for couple more days, mayor says
The Straits Times
|June 17, 2025
A nightly curfew in Los Angeles will continue for "a couple more days", Mayor Karen Bass said on June 15, the ninth day of protests that have seen US President Donald Trump launch a military-backed crackdown.

LOS ANGELES -
The demonstrations started on June 6 against immigration raids launched by the Trump administration to round up undocumented migrants in the heavily Latino city in Democrat-led California.
The rallies have been mostly peaceful and confined to a small area of Downtown Los Angeles, but marred by sporadic and eye-catching violence that Republican President Trump has used as a pretext to send in 4,000 National Guard and 700 Marines.
The extraordinary deployment came over the protests of local officials who have insisted that the situation was under control.
Mayor Bass ordered an overnight curfew on June 10 in the downtown area at the heart of the protests to stop incidents of vandalism and looting.

Trump in the spotlight, Asean in the shadows
Mr Trump and Asean operate differently. Ms Susannah Patton, deputy research director at Australian think-tank Lowy Institute, said in a commentary that he is “a leader who emphasises his own unique deal-making genius to reshape international affairs”, while Asean “prioritises consensus and incremental cooperation”. One thrives on command, the other on compromise.
