Published in News & Features
LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Police Department has made more than 500 arrests since demonstrations over the federal immigration enforcement that started last week, according to command staff.
On Thursday night, the third night of a curfew in and around downtown L.A., LAPD made 26 arrests. The total was a far cry from Tuesday, when the agency arrested more than 200 people.
This weekend, more protests are planned in L.A. and other U.S. cities over President Donald Trump and his administration.
An LAPD source said that the department plans to have as many as 3,500 officers on both its morning and evening shifts, along with hundreds of officers from the state, county and other law enforcement agencies.
The LAPD has racked up at least $5 million in costs for personnel, the source said.
