California National Guard deployed to LA
California National Guard deployed to LA: California National Guard troops were deployed to the streets of Los Angeles on Sunday to help quell a third day of protests over President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement, a step the state's Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom, called unlawful.
Groups of protesters, many carrying Mexican flags and signs denouncing US immigration authorities, gathered in spots around the city.
California Governor Gavin Newsom said he requested the Trump administration to withdraw its order to deploy 2 000 National Guard troops in Los Angeles county, calling it unlawful.
Newsom accused Trump of trying to manufacture a crisis and violating California's state sovereignty. "These are the acts of a dictator, not a president," he wrote in a post on X.
