Trump deploys National Guard to Los Angeles amid ICE raid protests
President Trump deployed 2,000 National Guardsmen to Los Angeles on Saturday as protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) rattle the city. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the move is a result of 'violent mobs' attacking 'Federal Law Enforcement Agents carrying out basic deportation operations' in recent days. 'These operations are essential to halting and reversing the invasion of illegal criminals into the United States. In the wake of this violence, California's feckless Democrat leaders have completely abdicated their responsibility to protect their citizens. That is why President Trump has signed a Presidential Memorandum deploying 2,000 National Guardsmen to address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester,' she wrote. Trump said California Democrats Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass were to blame for the unrest that began as a result of ICE raids. Los Angeles police have not responded to rowdy demonstrations where protestors have vandalized cars and property, according to administration officials. LAPD confirmed they were not involved. 'If Governor Gavin Newscum, of California, and Mayor Karen Bass, of Los Angeles, can't do their jobs, which everyone knows they can't, then the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem, RIOTS & LOOTERS, the way it should be solved!!!' Trump wrote in a Saturday Truth Social post. However, Newsom said the federal response is 'inflammatory' and said deploying soldiers 'will erode public trust.' 'LA authorities are able to access law enforcement assistance at a moment's notice,' Newsom wrote in a Saturday X post. 'We are in close coordination with the city and county, and there is currently no unmet need,' he added. A group of over 800 assembled to address their outrage following Friday's raids. Officials from the Department of Homeland Security said demonstrations have spread across the country, leading to several arrests in Los Angeles County and 5 in New York City this week, according to NewsNation reporting. 'Outside a federal law enforcement building in New York City, more than 150 rioters erupted to interfere with ICE's immigration enforcement operations,' DHS wrote on X. 'Thankfully, unlike in Los Angeles, the local police department quickly responded to the riots. So far, NYPD [New York Police Department] has made five arrests,' the post read, adding that those who touch law enforcement officers will be prosecuted.

Newsom says Trump administration will send 2,000 National Guard troops to L.A. over ICE protests
A Trump administration official said Saturday that the federal government planned to dispatch National Guard troops to Los Angeles, where widespread protests have broken out in response to a series of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrests. U.S. Executive Associate Director for Enforcement and Removal Operations Tom Homan said on Fox News that the administration would send the National Guard to Los Angeles at some point on Saturday. President Donald Trump has not announced a mobilization of the U.S. military, but top aide Stephen Miller called the protests 'an insurrection' Saturday morning, a charge that could allow Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act and send in troops. 'The move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions,' Newsom said. The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions. LA authorities are able to access law enforcement assistance at a moment's notice. We are in close… — Governor Gavin Newsom (@CAgovernor) June 8, 2025 ICE carried out a series of arrests in Los Angeles County Friday and Saturday, sparking large protests in Los Angeles and nearby Paramount and denouncements from representatives from local and state lawmakers. The Department of Homeland Security said Saturday that ICE arrested 118 immigrants in Los Angeles this week, though it did not say how many were in the U.S. illegally. Federal agents and Los Angeles police have also arrested dozens of protestors, including David Huerta, president of Service Employees International Union California. The city's congressional representatives told the Los Angeles Times that federal agents blocked them from checking on people at the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles, where advocates said the jail has become overcrowded. ICE, under Trump's orders to carry out a mass deportation effort throughout the country, has conducted a number of high-profile raids in California in recent weeks, targeting businesses and even immigration courts. On Wednesday, immigration advocates said ICE agents arrested at least 15 people, including children, who were checking in with immigration officials, a routine requirement for those whose immigration cases are still pending. As ICE has ramped up its efforts, its agents have often met fierce resistance from residents and advocacy groups, with protestors in Los Angeles and San Diego confronting agents directly.
