National Guard troops arrived in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday after being ordered into the city by President Trump in response to a weekend of violent clashes between law enforcement officers and protesters triggered by immigration enforcement operations in the area on Friday.
Trump ordered 2,000 National Guard troops to quell protests against L.A.-area immigration raids. Defense chief Pete Hegseth also said Marines are on “high alert.”
President Donald Trump signaled on Sunday afternoon that National Guard members will be “everywhere” in Los Angeles in order to quell the violent protests that have entered their third day. “Well, we’re going to have troops everywhere.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom called the move "purposefully inflammatory" and one that "will only escalate tensions."
