LA on lockdown as woke mayor enacts curfew amid 'local emergency'

has imposed a curfew across riot-ravaged Downtown in an effort to end pro-migrant protests which have gripped the city for five days.

From 8pm Tuesday through to 6am Wednesday, swathes of the city will be under a strict lockdown as officers fight to regain control and stamp out widespread violence and destruction.

Mayor announced the new orders after she was locked in tense meetings with the police chief and senior officials to weigh whether a strict curfew would help act as a circuit breaker and soothe tensions.
