Good evening. John Berman here in for Anderson. It is 5 p.m. in Los Angeles, about three hours from sunset.

Los Angeles mayor, Karen Bass, just moments ago, said she is weighing a curfew, which would go into effect tonight for parts of the downtown area.

A decision she says she will make before sundown. The news caps day five of protesters

on the streets and in just the last hour or so out on the 101 freeway right in the middle

of rush hour. It is day three of the National Guard troops on the scene, day one of active duty

Marines standing by, and significant developments today surrounding it all,

including the best we can tell, a first nationwide. National Guard troops appearing to be

present, if not taking part in an ICE immigration arrest. Three soldiers, one covering his face,

armed former perimeter around an ice agent. President Trump spoke

out on Los Angeles several times today, including just before airtime. But before we play you

some of what he said, I just want to set the stage because of how sharply what is actually

happening in L.A. differs from how he is describing things. For part of the day,

similar to when we left you last night, protesters have gathered around federal buildings downtown.

Some clashed with police who were seeking to clear the area for vehicles to pass. The protesters

throwing bottles, mostly. Officers responding with non-lethal rounds, then dispersing the crowd.

But again, like last night, and unlike Sunday, the scenes, though tense, have not erupted into

anything worse. And as it has been from the beginning, all this is taking place in a very small

part of a very large city. Now contrast that with the picture President Trump painted today at Fort Bragg.

Have you heard of the place where I've deployed thousands of National Guard troops and hundreds

of Marines to protect federal law enforcement from the attacks of a vicious and violent mob?

And some of the radical left, they say, oh, that's not nice.

Well, if we didn't do it, there wouldn't be a Los Angeles.
