APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE, I don't know how to directly post photos here. I assume I have to use something like Photobucket and post that link. For now, you'll need to click the CNN link to see it.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement posted images to X on Tuesday of officers detaining individuals in Los Angeles while surrounded by National Guard troops, in what appear to be the first photos showing the Guard’s involvement in ICE operations.

The Trump administration deployed thousands of National Guard troops to California, casting it as a necessary move to quell protests in LA that erupted in a section of the city over ICE enforcement actions.

Multiple sources told CNN the National Guard’s focus while in LA was to protect property and personnel. Its members do not have authority to arrest.

Images shared by ICE on X show authorities arresting individuals, as troops stand by, appearing to guard the area around the operation – in other words, serving as a security perimeter. The caption read: “Photos from today’s ICE Los Angeles immigration enforcement operation.”
