Trump Deploys National Guard to Quell LA Riots
Briefly

President Trump announced the mobilization of 2,000 National Guardsmen to Los Angeles due to escalating protests against immigration operations, which have turned violent. Officials from his administration criticized California's leadership for not maintaining public safety while local leaders warned the move could exacerbate tensions. Demonstrations against ICE are reportedly obstructing law enforcement and leading to aggressive acts against federal agents. The situation continues to escalate as further military support may be considered if violence persists, highlighting the complexity of federal and state relations on immigration enforcement.
In the wake of this violence, California's feckless Democrat leaders have completely abdicated their responsibility to protect their citizens.
Mobilizing the National Guard IMMEDIATELY to support federal law enforcement in Los Angeles. If violence continues, active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton will also be mobilized.
The president's move was purposefully inflammatory and would only escalate tensions.
Hundreds of demonstrators have obstructed law enforcement by surrounding federal buildings, slashing tires, and assaulting ICE officials.
