What to know about Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to LA protests
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump ordered approximately one thousand National Guard members from California to be sent to Los Angeles in an effort to quell protests triggered by immigration enforcement actions.
- The protests began Friday after federal immigration authorities arrested more than 40 people during mass deportation operations across Los Angeles.
- California’s governor and the mayor of its largest city expressed strong opposition to the federal troop deployment, describing it as a significant violation of the state's authority.
- Trump said federalizing troops was necessary to counter lawlessness, calling protesters 'troublemakers' and 'insurrectionists', while critics warned the move risks escalating tensions.
- The deployment represents a rare use of the Insurrection Act, raising legal and civil rights concerns, with potential implications for military involvement in domestic law enforcement.
