Trump to Deploy National Guard to Los Angeles Amid Protests and Warns of Federal Intervention

Protests and clashes between demonstrators and immigration authorities continued in Los Angeles for a second day. The unrest followed workplace raids conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the city of Paramount, prompting widespread demonstrations and arrests. In response to the escalating tensions, Donald Trump announced his intention to deploy 2,000 National Guard troops, issuing a warning that the federal government would intervene if local authorities, specifically Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass, failed to maintain order. Governor Newsom expressed concern over the planned deployment, stating it would exacerbate tensions and undermine public trust.
