National Guard troops arrive in LA on Trump orders

The first of 2,000 National Guard troops ordered by President Trump arrived in Los Angeles to quell clashes between protesters and immigration officers. In a memo, Trump said the demonstrations “constitute a form of rebellion." On social media, Gov. Newsom said the guard’s presence would “escalate tensions." Democratic Rep.
