President Donald Trump ordered National Guard troops mobilized and deployed to Los Angeles following two days of mass protests and attacks on federal immigration agents that appear to come at the behest of LA Mayor Karen Bass and the LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell.
Late Saturday, as videos of attacks on columns of ICE and Border Patrol vehicles were posted online following arrests of suspected illegal immigrants, the president took to his Truth Social platform to criticize Democratic leaders in LA and Gov. Gavin Newsom, who had yet to respond to the rioting.
