National Guard troops arrive in Los Angeles on Trump’s orders to quell immigration protests
- President Donald Trump ordered the California National Guard to send 2,000 soldiers to Los Angeles on Sunday in response to protests over immigration enforcement.
- Governor Gavin Newsom has called on the Trump administration to withdraw its order for National Guard deployment in California and restore state control over the troops, describing the move as unlawful and intentionally provocative.
- The National Guard's arrival followed escalating protests and clashes in Los Angeles and nearby areas after federal immigration raids, with law enforcement locally maintaining order and detaining multiple protesters.
- Trump justified the deployment citing credible threats of violence and obstruction of enforcement, while Newsom asserted local authorities had sufficient resources and called the order a breach of state sovereignty.
- The deployment heightened tensions between federal and state officials and signaled a firm federal stance on immigration enforcement amid ongoing protests and potential further military involvement.
