Police have declared all of downtown Los Angeles to be an unlawful assembly area and ordered protesters to go home, after Sunday saw a third day of violence hit demonstrations against President Donald Trump's immigration policy.
National Guard troops were deployed by Trump at the weekend to help quell the protests, a move California Governor Gavin Newsom called unlawful.
They guarded federal government buildings on Sunday.
The unrest in Los Angeles has become a major flashpoint in Trump's signature effort to clamp down on illegal immigration.
The U.S. president has pledged to deport record numbers of people who are in the country illegally and to lock down the U.S.-Mexico border, setting the border enforcement agency ICE a daily goal of arresting at least 3,000 migrants.
California state and local officials, mainly Democrats, accuse Trump of inflaming initially small-scale protests by mounting a federal response. He calls the protesters insurrectionists.
Los Angeles police said some protesters had thrown concrete projectiles, bottles and other items at police. Police declared several rallies to be unlawful assemblies and later extended that to include the whole downtown area.
Police said they had arrested 10 people on Sunday and 29 the previous night, adding arrests were continuing.

BREAKING NEWS Shock details of NFL star's violent struggle in police custody emerge amid 'overzealous policing' claims
New shocking details into the early Saturday morning arrest of former NFL star Adam 'Pacman' Jones have been revealed, including a violent struggle in police custody amid 'overzealous policing' claims. Jones reportedly 'intentionally' threw an elbow a police officers face during his detainment at the Kenton County Detention Center in Covington, Kentucky, just before 2am local time. The alleged strike was thrown a round an hour after Jones was arrested for alleged public drunkenness. Jones' arrest was first publicized on Saturday, with the shocking new details appearing in new court documentation, per TMZ. The 41-year-old Jones, who played 13 seasons in the NFL, was detained on multiple charges, including third-degree assault on a police officer, public intoxication, and second-degree disorderly conduct. He was released at around 11:30am after posting a $10,000 bond. Jones is due back in court on Wednesday. The agent for Jones has accused Northern Kentucky of abusing their authority and declared his client's innocence after the former Bengals cornerback was arrested in the Cincinnati suburb. 'The recent arrest of Adam "Pacman" Jones in Covington, Kentucky, is yet another example of overzealous policing and the systemic issues that plague our justice system,' began the statement from agent Peter Schaffer. 'Adam did nothing wrong other than exercise his right to ask why he was being detained - a fundamental question that every citizen should be allowed to ask without fear of retaliation.'
