US EditionNational Guard troops arrive in Los Angeles on Trump’s orders to quell immigration protests
- President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of two thousand California National Guard members to Los Angeles on Sunday to address immigration-related protests and secure federal sites.

- Trump characterized the risks of violence as serious enough to hinder law enforcement activities and amount to an act of rebellion, which he used to justify sending in troops.
- The deployment escalated tensions between the federal government and California officials, with the National Guard supporting ICE without performing law enforcement duties themselves.
