LOS ANGELES, June 8 (Xinhua) — The U.S. National Guard began arriving in Los Angeles on Sunday under orders from President Donald Trump to quell protests that erupted after federal immigration enforcement agencies launched a mass detention of illegal immigrants.
Trump announced the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops after two days of clashes between protesters and federal law enforcement, sparked by the actions of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) throughout Los Angeles. The operations resulted in more than 100 arrests, after which angry protesters clashed with law enforcement, using tear gas, flash bangs and throwing rocks.
White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt said the National Guard was deployed to “combat lawlessness” that emerged after ICE conducted a “routine deportation operation.”
California Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the federal measures as “deliberately provocative” and warned they could further escalate tensions. –0–
