LA on Edge: Trump Deploys More Troops Amid Fiery Immigration Protests

Los Angeles braces for more troops amid ongoing protests against immigration sweeps. President Trump's decision to double the number of National Guard troops and add 700 Marines to the city has sparked controversy. While Monday's protests were largely peaceful, following days of clashes between protestors and law enforcement, concerns remain. California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the president, accusing him of disrespecting the troops. "You sent your troops here without fuel, food, water or a place to sleep," Newsom tweeted, sharing a photo of troops sleeping on the floor. Los Angeles Police Chief McDonald also expressed concerns about the lack of coordination with federal military personnel. Meanwhile, protests continue across the country in solidarity, highlighting the national implications of the immigration crackdown. Despite the tensions, LA Mayor Karen Bass offered a message of support to undocumented immigrants, emphasizing the city's commitment to helping them secure legal status.
