"We will not obey in advance. We will not turn our gaze. We will not fan the flames of extremism. We will not answer violence with violence."
"The people have gathered together to remind you there is a higher power."
Los Angeles experienced a significant reduction in protest activity due to a city-imposed curfew and a strong message from faith leaders advocating for nonviolent resistance to immigration raids. Mayor Karen Bass's curfew, effective from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., aimed to address the chaos seen in previous protests. Community leaders, including Rabbi Sharon Brous, stressed the importance of maintaining peace and not responding to violence with violence. Despite the curfew, law enforcement reported multiple arrests, highlighting the tension between protestors and authorities as the city worked towards restoring order.
