During his departure to the G7 Summit, President Donald Trump asserted that without National Guard intervention, Los Angeles would face chaos from protests against ICE. His decision to send the Guard to California has sparked outrage and legal challenges, particularly as it was made without a formal request from Governor Gavin Newsom. While a significant number of protests nationwide remained peaceful, incidents in Los Angeles led to 38 arrests and injuries to police officers. Trump's comments frame the National Guard's role as crucial in deterring potential violence amid growing civil unrest.
Trump remarked that the National Guard's presence deters violence, claiming that protesters would wreak havoc on Los Angeles without it, though recent protests saw minimal violence.
The President emphasized the importance of the National Guard in maintaining order amidst protests, stating that their presence prevents confrontations and ensures safety during demonstrations.
