Trump Sends Marines and More National Guard Members to Los Angeles

2 days ago President Donald Trump has authorized the deployment of an additional 2,000 National Guard members to help respond to protests in Los Angeles over immigration raids. The authorization followed mostly peaceful protests Monday. The 2,000 Guard members are an addition to the 2,100 Guard troops the president previously mobilized for the protests Sunday morning. Trump also deployed 700 Marines to help them Monday. Gov. Gavin Newsom called the deployments reckless and “disrespectful to our troops." Trump said Monday that the city would have been “completely obliterated” if he had not deployed the Guard.
