Trump deploys 2,000 National Guard members after Los Angeles immigration protests
- The Trump administration deployed at least 2,000 National Guard members on Saturday, June 6, 2025, to Los Angeles amid protests over immigration raids.
- This deployment followed two days of protests that erupted after citywide ICE operations and arrests, including raids in the Paramount area and the garment district targeting undocumented workers.
- Protests included gatherings at Camp Pendleton and downtown Los Angeles, where federal agents used tear gas and flash-bang grenades, leading to occasional violence like a June 7 standoff involving a burning car.
- President Trump said the Guard would keep peace and allow protests while enforcing law and order, stating deployment would last 60 days or until Defense Secretary discretion; meanwhile, critics called it a chaotic escalation and government overreach.
- The deployment increased tensions in Los Angeles, with officials warning of violent mobs obstructing ICE, while state leaders and protesters condemned the use of active-duty troops against civilians.

Jonah Goldberg: Trump deploys, protesters respond. This will not end well
“Here we go.” “I knew it would come.” “This won’t end well.” Those were my initial reactions to President Trump’s announcement that he had activated the California National Guard and to sources on Monday saying Marines would serve as backup. I’m not claiming much prescience. Like his breakup with Elon Musk last week, his deploying the military against protesters could not have been more foreseeable. The only uncertainty was about timing and pret…
