President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of approximately 300 National Guard members to Los Angeles in response to protests following immigration raids, despite objections from California Governor Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass. Governor Newsom criticized the move as inflammatory, while Mayor Bass described it as a “chaotic escalation,” warning that an increased presence of troops could incite civil unrest.
