By Brad Brooks, Phil Stewart, Idrees Ali and Dietrich Knauth LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -Hundreds of U.S. Marines arrived in the Los Angeles area on Tuesday under orders from President Donald Trump, as the city's mayor declared a curfew for parts of the downtown area and police arrested 197 people in a fifth day of street protests.

As protests continue in Los Angeles, hundreds of U.S. Marines have been deployed to the city as President Donald Trump and Governor Gavin Newsom spar over law enforcement response.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom issued an address to Californians, calling out President Donald Trump for the "commandeering" of National Guard troops and Marines to instigate violence at LA anti-ICE protests.

At a peaceful vigil in downtown Los Angeles, interfaith community leaders came together for prayer, support and healing.

A cloud of uncertainty is hanging over Los Angeles, where questions remain over the role that Marines and National Guard troops will play after being called in by President Donald Trump amid protests over immigration raids in the city.

The protests began Friday after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents carried out coordinated raids across Los Angeles, detaining dozens of workers at warehouses and other worksites. The arrests sparked immediate backlash, with demonstrators converging outside federal buildings, blocking freeways, and in some cases clashing with police.

President Donald Trump has deployed 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines to LA. But California Gov. Gavin Newsom and California Attorney General Rob Bonta are suing the Trump administration, saying they unlawfully "trampled over" California’s sovereignty when they federalized the California National Guard.

Trump's National Guard deployment to Los Angeles and recent comments signal more sweeping executive actions are possible. Is the Insurrection Act one of them?
