US EditionTrump authorizes additional 2,000 National Guard members to Los Angeles, US officials say
- On Monday, President Donald Trump approved sending roughly 2,000 more National Guard troops along with approximately 700 Marines to Los Angeles to help manage protests sparked by immigration enforcement actions.
- The deployment followed widespread protests that began after federal immigration arrests of more than 40 people, with the Guard activated without California Governor Gavin Newsom's request, prompting legal challenges.
- Task Force 51, operating under federal command and composed of about 2,100 National Guard members along with 700 active-duty Marines from a battalion within the 1st Marine Division, is responsible for safeguarding federal personnel amid ongoing protests.
- Governor Newsom condemned the deployment as reckless and disrespectful, highlighting that the majority of National Guard personnel remain inactive and lack necessary supplies, while California’s Attorney General Rob Bonta has initiated legal action alleging constitutional overreach.
- The total Guard presence on federal orders now exceeds 4,100, and the situation underscores tension between state sovereignty and federal authority during immigration enforcement-related unrest.
