NYPD confirm to us that "multiple" arrests have been made at ICE protests in New York tonight.
The protests have been largely peaceful as what seemed like a couple of thousand protesters made their way into lower Manhattan.
The police said in a statement: “Upon arrival, officers observed multiple individuals sitting in the roadway, blocking vehicular traffic. The demonstrators were instructed verbally numerous times to vacate the roadway and did not comply. As a result, multiple individuals were taken into custody.”
New York Mayor Eric Adams earlier said protests like those in LA were "unacceptable and will not be tolerated if attempted in our city."
It's 12 minutes past 8pm in Los Angeles now - and the city is in its first night of curfew after five days of protests.
The LA government has sent out an alert to phone users. It reads: "The City of Los Angeles has declared that a curfew is in place from 8pm to 6am ... Travelling to and from work, seeking or giving emergency care, and emergency responders are exempt."
Our reporters are on the ground in LA to cover the latest. Stay with us.
