In response to the rumors online, the statement from Disney read, “We can confirm that is not the case. We’ve gotten multiple reports through the day, but we checked them all and can report that there is no ICE presence at the resort.”

The National Guard is currently located at the Santa Ana Federal Building,  about 7 miles from Disneyland, or about a 16-minute drive.

Mayor Karen Bass of Los Angeles placed a curfew on the Downtown Los Angeles area. The curfew runs from 8 PM to 6 AM and will continue until lifted.
