National Guard troops already have temporarily detained civilians in the Los Angeles protests over immigration raids.

U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said at least nine people face federal charges related to the demonstrations. The protests have been prompted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement sweeps spurred by President Trump's directive to find immigrants living in the United States without legal status.

The National Guard in Los Angeles has detained anti-ICE protesters while providing security for immigration operations, with officials expecting protests to escalate.

Los Angeles residents and experts say that the National Guard's presence in Los Angeles in response to immigration protests is reminiscent of a long-standing dynamic in the state and around the country.

McCrory said the state is put in a “precarious position” when a governor and mayor aren’t willing to work with the president.

Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman said 500 National Guard members have been trained to accompany agents on immigration operations.

Trump credited the military for stopping Los Angeles from turning into a “crime scene” Thursday, while Newsom has said the troops’ presence inflamed protests.

Massachusetts senators Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey called Trump's move to deploy the National Guard to quell LA protests "authoritarian."

President Trump’s assertions that federal troops have saved the city from destruction did not appear to reflect reality.
