Trump to deploy another 2,000 National Guard members to LA as state sues administration
Trump to deploy another 2,000 National Guard members to LA as state sues administration
From CNN's Amanda Musa
President Donald Trump has ordered the Department of Defense to deploy an additional 2,000 California National Guard members to the Los Angeles area to support ICE amid ongoing protests in the city.
“At the order of the President, the Department of Defense is mobilizing an additional 2,000 California National Guard to be called into federal service to support ICE & to enable federal law-enforcement officers to safely conduct their duties,” Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said in an X post Monday.
Monday’s deployment is in addition to the 2,000 National Guard troops ordered to deploy by Trump on Saturday.
“Trump is trying to provoke chaos by sending 4,000 soldiers onto American soil,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said in an X post. “Foolish agitators who take advantage of Trump’s chaos will be held accountable. Stay safe. Stay calm. Look out for one another.”
