US EditionAbout 500 National Guard troops in LA are trained to accompany agents on immigration raids
- Approximately 500 National Guard members have received training to support ICE agents during immigration enforcement actions in downtown Los Angeles this past Friday.
- The training and deployment followed immigration raids that arrested 44 people and sparked widespread protests with clashes between police and anti-ICE demonstrators.
- Task Force 51, led by Major General Scott Sherman, is responsible for managing a deployment that includes thousands of National Guard members and several hundred Marines assigned to maintain security amid the protests.
- The White House spokesperson sharply criticized the Los Angeles Governor and Mayor for their insufficient actions during the crisis, while President Trump asserted that he will not allow mobs to take control of the country.
- The deployment marks a significant escalation in immigration enforcement, with about 45% of Americans disapproving the troop response, and officials warning protests may escalate further.
