National Guard Deployed to L.A. Amid Fierce Immigration Protests; Newsom Condemns Trump's Response

Los Angeles and Compton erupted in protests over the weekend, sparked by intensified immigration enforcement operations. President Trump responded by deploying 2,000 National Guard members, a move that drew sharp criticism from California Governor Gavin Newsom, who called it "purposefully inflammatory." News footage shows intense clashes between protesters and authorities. ABC News reporter Trevor Ault, reporting live from Compton, described the scene: "You can see some of the remnants of these very dangerous clashes that we saw play out for more than 12 hours." The video also shows the aftermath of the clashes, with damaged property and a heavy law enforcement presence. In New York City, similar tensions arose, resulting in the arrest of at least one individual who allegedly assaulted an ICE officer. Meanwhile, the White House defended its actions, stating it would address the "lawlessness that has been allowed to fester." The situation remains tense as both sides remain firmly entrenched in their positions.
