Another 2,000 National Guard troops along with 700 Marines are headed to Los Angeles on orders from President Donald Trump, escalating a military presence local officials and Gov. Gavin Newsom don’t want and the police chief says creates logistical challenges for safely handling protests.

The ongoing protests in Los Angeles began with small demonstrations against immigration raids in the nation's second largest city.

Accusing him of “turning the military against American citizens," California Governor Newsom moved to stop President Trump from using the military to quell the anti-ICE riots in L.A.

President Donald Trump is moving swiftly to act on his immigration promises with little internal restraint, determined to test the bounds of his executive authority in order to fulfill the promises of his reelection campaign.
