LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, JUN 9 – The deployment supports federal law enforcement amid protests against immigration enforcement, with up to 4,000 National Guard troops already in Los Angeles, officials said.

- The deployment followed escalating protests over federal immigration raids that began Friday and spread across Los Angeles over the weekend.

- The deployment triggered legal action by California, including a planned lawsuit alleging unlawful federal mobilization, and tensions remained high with ongoing protests and arrests.
