National Guard faces off with protesters hours after arriving in Los Angeles on Trump's orders

California National Guard troops clashed with protesters in Los Angeles after being ordered by President Donald Trump to quell demonstrations against immigration raids.
Trump aims to significantly increase deportations, targeting at least 3,000 migrants per day and has labeled previous protests as 'riots.'
This deployment marks a rare instance of National Guard activation without a governor's request, escalating tensions surrounding immigration enforcement.
U.S. Rep. Nanette Barragan criticized Trump's deployment decision, stating that local law enforcement has sufficient resources to handle the situation.
