The Latest: California Senator Removed After Interrupting News Conference by Kristi Noem
- President Donald Trump deployed about 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to Los Angeles in early June 2020 amid protests against immigration enforcement.
- Trump cited a federal law allowing the National Guard to protect federal property but did not invoke the Insurrection Act, which would permit active troops broader law enforcement powers.
- The protests began on June 6 after federal immigration raids, involved vandalism and violence, and led to at least 100 arrests while appearing largely peaceful overall.
- A senior Pentagon official reported that the military deployment expenses totaled approximately $134 million, covering the troops' travel, accommodation, and meals while securing federal locations.
- California Governor Gavin Newsom challenged the deployment as illegal and politically motivated, while Trump claimed it prevented Los Angeles from burning, highlighting deep tensions over federal intervention.
