Washington — President Trump signed a memorandum over the weekend deploying the National Guard to, as he says, protect federal immigration officials and other federal law enforcement in Los Angeles amid heated protests over immigration raids, citing Title 10 of the federal code.
Large-scale but concentrated protests have broken out throughout L.A. County, including in the Westlake District, downtown L.A. and Paramount, following a widespread operation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement last week. A federal law enforcement official told CBS News that multiple federal law enforcement officers have been injured during confrontations with protesters.
"In light of these incidents and credible threats of continued violence," as the memo said, the president issued instructions to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi, to authorize the National Guard to post up in Los Angeles.
