Donald Trump’s threats to send the National Guard to Los Angeles to squash anti-ICE protests have drawn a resounding negative reaction from Democrats, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who called the administration’s plan “deranged behavior.”
The White House on Saturday said that 2,000 National Guard troops will be sent to arrest protesters as tensions grew during a second day of clashes between hundreds of protesters and federal agents following a series of immigration raids by ICE agents on Friday.
