President Donald Trump has deployed 2,000 National Guard troops to the Los Angeles area following a wave of protests sparked by controversial ICE raids conducted Friday and Saturday.
Protests erupted across several L.A. neighborhoods after Immigration and Customs Enforcement carried out a high-profile raid in Paramount on Saturday, KTLA reported. During ongoing demonstrations, a car was set on fire in Compton, and in downtown Los Angeles, protestors lit fireworks in a standoff with federal agents, who responded with pepper balls and rubber bullets.
