National Guard in LA amid immigration protests: live updates
U.S. Northern Command said approximately 300 soldiers were quickly deployed to three locations in the greater Los Angeles area to provide "safety and protection of federal property and personnel." The Los Angeles Police Department said its officers had been deployed to the protest area. "Everyone has the right to peacefully assemble and voice their opinions," LAPD said in a social media post. "However, vandalizing property and attempting to seriously injure officers, whether Federal or LAPD, is not peaceful." Why did Trump deploy the Guard? What to know about the situation in LA "These Radical Left protests, by instigators and often paid troublemakers, will NOT BE TOLERATED," Trump said in a social media post Sunday. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump signed a memo a day earlier deploying the guardsmen "to address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester." "The Trump Administration has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior and violence, especially when that violence is aimed at law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs," she said in a statement. On Saturday, a large protest erupted in the city of Paramount in Los Angeles County, about 15 miles south of downtown Los Angeles. It came as Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents conducted enforcement operations in the area and arrested at least 44 people on alleged immigration violations. More demonstrations followed across the area. Police have countered by firing tear gas, pepper spray and flash-bang concussion rounds toward gathering crowds. Some protesters hurled large chunks of broken concrete at officers, slashed tires and defaced buildings, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Contributing: Reuters

Sanders blasts Trump on 'authoritarianism' for sending troops to LA
The protests come as the Trump administration has taken stronger actions to arrest and deport undocumented immigrants. Demonstrators allege the administration's immigration enforcement has violated civil and human rights. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement on June 7 that Trump signed a memo deploying the guardsmen "to address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester." Both California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, however, have criticized the move, saying it would only escalate tensions in the area. "I would say that to a large degree, the future of this country rests with a small number of Republicans in the House and Senate who know better, who do know what the Constitution is about, and it's high time they stood up for our Constitution and the rule of law," Sanders said. Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin, meanwhile, defended the president's move to Bash, arguing that the situation is not under control. The Department of Homeland Security said that some protesters have hurled large chunks of broken concrete at officers, slashed tires and defaced buildings. Video footage of some of the protests showed dozens of green-uniformed security personnel with gas masks, lined up on a road strewn with overturned shopping carts as small canisters exploded into gas clouds. "The president has made it very clear. If the governor or the mayor of the city isn't willing to protect the citizens of his state or the city, then the president will. The American people elected him to restore the law and order back to our streets," Mullin said. Contributing: Reuters

The Department of Homeland Security said, "1,000 rioters surrounded a federal law enforcement building and assaulted ICE officers, slashed tyres, defaced buildings, and taxpayer-funded property."
