ST. LOUIS – Immigration protests that began in Los Angeles have spread to other cities, including St. Louis, where a demonstration is planned for Wednesday afternoon.

The protests in Los Angeles, which have led to a curfew due to unrest, are part of a nationwide protest called ’50-50-1,’ which stands for ’50 protests, 50 states, and 1 movement.’ This movement opposes federal immigration enforcement actions, including raids and detainments by ICE.

In Los Angeles, the protests have escalated, prompting a curfew due to violence and vandalism. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass cited violence and looting as reasons for the curfew, which is set to expire at 8 a.m. Wednesday morning.

California Governor Gavin Newsom, who has opposed President Donald Trump sending over the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles to assist, has filed an emergency motion to prevent troops from participating in immigration raids.

In St. Louis, the protest is scheduled from 3 to 5 p.m. on Wednesday at the Tamm Avenue overpass at Highway 40. It is expected to coincide with the afternoon rush hour, potentially impacting traffic. Additional protests are planned for Saturday in Alton, Sappington, St. Peters, and Downtown Kiener Plaza.

As immigration protests continue to spread across the nation, cities like St. Louis are preparing for demonstrations that reflect widespread opposition to current immigration enforcement policies.
