US EditionNational Guard troops are now protecting ICE agents as they make arrests in LA
- On June 10, a senior official from the Department of Homeland Security confirmed that National Guard members were stationed to safeguard ICE agents conducting immigration arrests in Los Angeles amid ongoing demonstrations.
- This deployment came after President Donald Trump approved the mobilization of as many as 4,000 members of the National Guard along with 700 Marines, a decision made despite opposition from Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass in response to protests sparked by immigration enforcement actions.
- The demonstrations started on June 6 following federal authorities’ arrest of over 40 individuals, resulting in confrontations involving law enforcement and a total of close to 380 arrests over five days; meanwhile, the Guard's role broadened from safeguarding property to also protecting federal personnel.
- McLaughlin explained that military personnel can temporarily detain rioters attacking ICE officers until law enforcement arrests them and emphasized the need to end violence against federal agents.
- California officials have filed lawsuits seeking to block the troop deployment, reflecting concerns that the military presence intensifies unrest and raises legal and political disputes over federal authority and public safety.
