LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUN 21 – Vice President J.D. Vance supports ongoing deployment of 4,700 troops to Los Angeles to prevent violence after immigration raid protests, amid criticism from local Democratic leaders.
- US Vice President J.D. Vance met troops in Los Angeles on Friday, affirming that the deployed National Guard and Marines remain necessary to quell protests.
- The deployment followed immigration raids by ICE agents earlier this month, which triggered protests that included some violence and vandalism.
- President Donald Trump deployed several thousand National Guard troops along with hundreds of Marines to secure federal sites, and a recent appeals court decision upheld his authority over the California National Guard.
- Vance explained that soldiers and Marines remain essential on the ground due to concerns about renewed unrest, and he stated that Trump would send federal law enforcement forces again if the situation required it.
- California officials, including Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass, criticized Trump's military use, arguing local forces could handle protests, thus deepening political tensions over federal intervention.
