Around 300 National Guard troops arrived in Los Angeles early Sunday on orders from President Donald Trump, staging outside a federal complex that remained largely quiet and without major protests following two days of clashes with immigration authorities.

President Donald Trump praised the National Guard for their work after violent protests erupted in Los Angeles over the administration's crackdown on immigration enforcement, with demonstrations set to continue into the afternoon on June 8.

State and local officials warned that the National Guard’s presence could escalate protests, while Republican lawmakers blamed state leadership for the clashes.
