Chinese Consulate in Los Angeles issues safety advisory on Monday after days of clashes sparked by protests against immigration raids
In a safety advisory issued on Monday, the Chinese Consulate in Los Angeles reminded Chinese citizens in the area “to closely monitor official announcements and media reports, stay highly vigilant, strengthen safety precautions, avoid gathering sites, crowded areas, or locations with poor public security”.
It also advised against “going out at night or traveling alone”.
Around 300 California National Guard troops arrived in Los Angeles on Sunday and were deployed around government buildings on the third day of a stand-off with demonstrators protesting President Trump’s immigration raids targeting undocumented migrants.
The troops were part of a larger force mobilised to support federal law enforcement amid escalating clashes between protesters and immigration agents.
