SUMMARY

National Guard troops have arrived in Los Angeles on President Trump’s orders to quell riots against federal immigration raids. The deployment comes amid rising tensions following violent confrontations between rioters and federal agents who were conducting deportations. Trump has ordered 2,000 National Guard troops to respond to "lawlessness," despite objections from Governor Gavin Newsom, who claims that the move will escalate tensions.

On Saturday, protests erupted in Paramount near a Home Depot, leading to the use of tear gas and clashes with law enforcement. The riots continued into the evening, with rioters gathering near federal buildings.
