Following clashes sparked by ICE immigration raids, where about 118 suspected undocumented migrants were arrested, the National Guard troops have arrived in Los Angeles. President Trump ordered the deployment, bypassing Governor Gavin Newsom's authority, an action that raises concerns about federal overreach. The unrest, particularly in the suburb of Paramount, has seen protesters clashing with federal agents. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth hinted that active duty Marines could also be sent to maintain order amid rising tensions.
"In an unprecedented move, President Trump has ordered the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles without the consent of Governor Newsom, stirring significant controversy and questions about federal-state relations."
"The protests in Los Angeles, originally sparked by recent ICE immigration raids resulting in over 100 arrests, have escalated tensions in the city, leading to the National Guard's intervention to restore order."
