Event Summary

United States — National Guard (United States) troops began arriving in United States — Los Angeles on Sunday, June 8, 2025, on orders from US president Donald Trump. This deployment, involving approximately 2,000 United States — California United States — National Guard (United States) troops, was in response to escalating protests against federal immigration raids conducted by United States — United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the United States — Los Angeles area. The move was made over the strong objections of United States — California Governor Gavin Newsom, who called it 'purposefully inflammatory' and an 'overreaction'. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth further threatened to deploy active-duty Marines if violence continued. This marks a rare instance of a president activating a state's United States — National Guard (United States) without the governor's request, leading to a significant political divide between the federal government and United States — California's Democratic leadership. Protests in areas like Paramount and Compton involved clashes between demonstrators and federal agents, with tear gas, flash-bangs, and pepper balls used by authorities, and rocks and cement hurled by protesters. The event has sparked a national debate on immigration policies, protest rights, and the boundaries of presidential power, with figures like Bernie Sanders criticizing Donald Trump's actions as authoritarian.
