More troops called in to Los Angeles
President Trump authorized 2000 additional National Guard members to be put on active duty in Los Angeles to respond to protests over immigration raids. The move drew swift criticism from Gov. Gavin Newsom, who called it reckless and disrespectful to troops. About 700 Marines were also deployed from Twentynine Palms to protect federal property as California sued over the use of Guard troops and demonstrators filled the streets for a fourth day.
