L.A. unrest live updates: Crowds protesting immigration raids ordered to leave downtown
What we know
Protesters against federal immigration raids were ordered to leave downtown Los Angeles overnight as law enforcement shot less-lethal rounds.
Demonstrators spilled onto the 101 Freeway, partially shutting it down, while others set fire to driverless Waymo cars. Police reported looting.
Around 300 National Guard members are in the city after President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of 2,000 troops in a move California Gov. Gavin Newsom criticized as inflammatory. About 500 Marines are also ready to deploy.
'Border czar' Tom Homan defended the deployment, threatening Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass with arrest if they impede efforts. Trump called on them to apologize to Angelenos for their handling of the protests, but Newsom responded saying: 'Tom, arrest me. Let's go."

Zia Yusuf: Reform UK burka row is 'storm in a teacup'
Former Reform UK chairman Zia Yusuf has called a row over a social media post - in which he said it was "dumb" for one of his MPs to call for a burka ban - a "storm in a teacup". Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Yusuf said he regretted the post and that "exhaustion led to a poor decision". Shortly after criticising MP Sarah Pochin, Yusuf quit as chairman saying that trying to get Reform UK elected was not "a good use of my time".However, two days later he returned to work for the party albeit in a different role, leading the party's Doge unit, a team inspired by the US Department of Government Efficiency, set up by President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. The initiative aims to cut wasteful spending in the councils Reform now why he had resigned as chairman, Yusuf said: "I've been working pretty much non-stop, virtually no days off."It is very difficult to keep going at that pace."He said one of the reasons he had "changed his decision so quickly" and returned to work for the party, was that he had been "inundated" by supportive messages from Reform voters and members. The series of events began last Wednesday when Pochin, the newly-elected MP for Runcorn and Helsby, asked Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer if he would join France and Denmark in banning the burka, a veil worn by some Muslim women that covers the face and body, "in the interests of public safety".The following day Yusuf, who is a Muslim, posted on X: "I do think it's dumb for a party to ask the PM if they would do something the party itself wouldn't do".Speaking to the BBC on Monday, Yusuf said "the thing that frustrated me at the time" was that Pochin had not chosen to ask something that was party for his views on a ban, he said: "If I was an MP I would think about it very deeply, I think I probably would be in favour of banning face coverings in public writ large, not just the burka."I'm very queasy and uneasy about banning things that for example would be unconstitutional in the US but we have a particular situation in the UK."He said he did not believe Islam was "a threat to the country" but added that the UK had "a problem with assimilation". Over the weekend, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch was also asked her views on banning the burka. She told the Telegraph: "People should be allowed to wear whatever they want, not what their husband is asking them to wear or what their community says that they should wear."However, she said that organisations should be able to decide what their staff wear and that she asked people coming to her constituency surgeries to remove face coverings "whether it's a burka or a balaclava". "I'm not talking to people who are not going to show me their face," she Muslim Council of Britain accused her of "desperation" adding: "Kemi Badenoch isn't setting the agenda - she's scrambling to keep up with Reform UK's divisive rhetoric."

Newsom taunts Trump's ‘tough guy' border czar to ‘come get me' after arrest threat
California Governor Gavin Newsom has escalated his war of words with Donald Trump 's administration over its handling of this weekend's tensions in Los Angeles by challenging the president's border czar Tom Homan to arrest him. Homan had told the media on Saturday that he was prepared to apprehend 'anybody' who interfered with the illegal immigrant crackdown in the city being carried out by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, not excluding Newsom or Mayor Karen Bass. 'It's a felony to impede law enforcement doing their job,' he said. The Democrat shot back on X on Sunday by saying: 'Trump's border czar is threatening to arrest me for speaking out. Come and get me, tough guy.' 'I don't give a damn. It won't stop me from standing up for California.' The taunt accompanied a clip of an impassioned Newsom speaking to MSNBC in which he said: 'What the hell are they doing? These guys need to grow up, they need to stop and we need to push back and I'm sorry to be so clear but that kind of bloviating is exhausting. So Tom, arrest me. Let's go.' In the same interview, the governor denounced Trump's decision to send in the state National Guard to assist local law enforcement in maintaining order after three nights of angry demonstrations against ICE's latest drive to arrest alleged undocumented migrants. Newsom posted a number of other clips from the same segment last night, in one of which he said the president had 'manufactured a crisis and is inflaming conditions' through his actions and rhetoric and in another called Trump 'a stone cold liar.' The governor further posted a video of Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio and accused them of provoking violence and chaos, 'militarizing cities' and arresting their opponents, before declaring: 'These are the acts of a dictator, not a president.' Elsewhere, Newsom reported that he had formally requested that the president stand down the Guard, posted a letter of support from leading Democrats and attacked other top Republicans including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and House Speaker Mike Johnson, scoffing: 'Smart guys running the operation.' Trump retaliated on Truth Social, writing: 'Governor Gavin Newscum [sic] and 'Mayor' Bass should apologize to the people of Los Angeles for the absolutely horrible job that they have done, and this now includes the ongoing L.A. riots. These are not protesters, they are troublemakers and insurrectionists. Remember, NO MASKS!' He branded Newsom and Bass 'incompetent', criticized their handling of wildfires in the same city earlier this year and said the federal government would have to step in if they 'can't do their jobs.' The mass resistance to ICE's actions since Friday has seen vehicles set alight and protesters throwing fireworks at armed law enforcement officers, holding aloft placards bearing hostile slogans and shouting: 'Shame on you!' Officers in riot gear have responded by firing tear gas and flash grenades in attempts to disperse the crowds. ICE operations across Los Angeles County have so far resulted in the arrests of 118 accused illegal immigrants despite the clashes, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

Rioters torch driverless cars in third day of LA unrest
Masked protesters in Los Angeles smashed and torched self-driving electric cars as the city was gripped by a third day of volatile demonstrations. Protesters waving Mexican flags were pictured vandalising and standing on the bonnets of the white Waymo autonomous taxis as thousands of activists descended on the city's downtown area. It came as demonstrators protesting against federal immigration raids clashed with police again on Sunday, with officers firing rubber bullets, tear gas and balls of pepper spray into the crowd. Photographs appeared to show a protester smashing a car with a hammer, while in footage a burning American flag was seen being thrown into a vehicle. Other videos showed the self-driving taxis with their tyres slashed and windows smashed, along with anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency graffiti sprawled on their bodywork. Protesters who swarmed around the vehicles were also seen tearing their doors off and using a makeshift flamethrower to set them on fire. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) warned people to avoid the area. The force said in a statement: 'Burning lithium-ion batteries release toxic gases, including hydrogen fluoride, posing risks to responders and those nearby.' By 6pm, at least four self-driving cars had been completely burnt out, with only their wheels recognisable amid mounds of white ash and metal. After launching in San Francisco in 2021, Waymo, a subsidiary of Google's parent company Alphabet, began its service ferrying passengers in the city in November. A Waymo spokesman told the Los Angeles Times that the company was in touch with law enforcement regarding the incident. Sunday's protest had been organised by the Los Angeles branch of the Party for Socialism and Liberation. Another is planned for Monday. Cynthia Martinez, whose parents moved to the US from Mexico, told The Telegraph: 'I'm here because I want to fight for the rights of immigrants.' The 30-year-old teacher added: 'I want to make sure I'm here for the people and stand up for those that cannot stand up for themselves.' On Saturday night, Gavin Newsom, the Democrat California governor, had urged protesters not to give Donald Trump a 'spectacle' after the US president announced he was deploying 2,000 National Guard troops to the city. The arrival of hundreds of troops on Sunday marked the first time since 1965 that a president had activated a National Guard force without a request from a state's governor. Despite Mr Newsom's pleas, National Guard troops were quickly deployed to guard federal government buildings, as dozens of police cars lined the streets. The LAPD declared several rallies, in different parts of the city, to be 'unlawful assemblies', while accusing some protesters of throwing concrete projectiles, bottles and other items at officers. The sky over downtown Los Angeles was thick with smoke as protesters set off fireworks and law enforcement fired flash-bang grenades and rubber bullets in an attempt to disperse the crowd. Among those caught up in the chaos was an Australian journalist, who was shot in the leg with a rubber bullet as she delivered a piece to camera away from any protesters. 'This is the worst I've seen since the LA riots,' a police officer said as he escorted a Telegraph reporter through a barricaded area to retrieve their car, which had been hit by a projectile, cracking the windscreen. At least five police helicopters circled above, while officers on horseback fired tear gas into the crowd to push the protesters back. Whole swathes of downtown Los Angeles were coated in graffiti, with vandals spraying 'F--- Ice, F--- Trump' and 'Deport Trump's wife' onto walls and buildings. By nightfall, the majority of protesters had gone home. Some of those that remained set fire to bins on street corners, set off fireworks and threw Molotov cocktails towards the police. One helicopter circled lower, using its spotlight to illuminate pockets of protesters. 'Why are you running?' an officer said from the aircraft, as protesters ran from police just after 10pm. 'I'm gonna getcha.'
