Trump to Send National Guard to Quell Immigration Protests in Los Angeles
2,000 troops deployed amid escalating tensions and civil unrest
In response to escalating protests against immigration raids, President Donald Trump has ordered the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles.
The decision follows violent demonstrations that erupted after federal agents arrested over 120 individuals suspected of immigration violations.
Local officials, including Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass, have criticized the move as an unnecessary escalation, arguing that it infringes upon state sovereignty and could exacerbate tensions.
