LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Fallout continues after days of protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) grips the Los Angeles area.

An overnight curfew was imposed on a section of downtown Los Angeles as city leaders attempt to stop vandalism.

President Donald Trump has deployed 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines to L.A. But Gov. Gavin Newsom and California Attorney General Rob Bonta are suing the Trump administration, saying they unlawfully "trampled over" California's sovereignty when they federalized the California National Guard.
