National Guard troops arrived in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday after being ordered into the city by President Trump in response to a weekend of violent clashes between law enforcement officers and protesters triggered by immigration enforcement operations in the area on Friday.

President Donald Trump has deployed California National Guard troops to Los Angeles to respond to immigration protests, over the objections of California Gov.

Context: The demonstrations again have pitted Trump against Governor Gavin Newsom (D), one of the president's top foes who has called the deployment of troops in the LA area "unlawful" and "a serious breach of state sovereignty."
