Protests in Los Angeles: Front lock and new travel instructions!

Los Angeles, Kalifornien, USA - On June 12, 2025, the Federal Foreign Office changed travel and security instructions for the United States due to persistent protests in various major cities.

In addition to Los Angeles, cities such as Seattle and Atlanta are also affected, where demonstrations have occurred since the Pentecost weekend.

The mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, has issued a nightly curse for the inner city area in response to the unresty developments. This applies from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. and also comes into force on June 12th. Affected areas are the area between the FreeWays 5, 10 and 110 to the intersection of 110 and 5. Exceptions for this output ban apply to the police, rescue and medical staff, residents, commuters and accredited media representatives.

Current situation and political reactions

The protests in Los Angeles seem to be mostly peaceful. Nevertheless, some people were arrested who remained on the streets despite the curfew. In addition to the outcome lock, the US government sent the national guard to California, which causes mixed reactions in the population. President Trump even plans to post the 700 marine inventory to Los Angeles, which leads to political controversy, especially because this measure takes place without the approval of the state of California.

The governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, thinks about the use of the National Guard due to protests in Austin and Dallas.
