Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman said 500 National Guard members have been trained to accompany agents on immigration operations.

The National Guard has at times detained protesters in its deployment to Los Angeles, an official said Wednesday, as demonstrations against Immigration and Customs enforcement raids spread to other major cities.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said President Donald Trump is “pulling a military dragnet” across Los Angeles during a brief public address on Tuesday.

McCrory said the state is put in a “precarious position” when a governor and mayor aren’t willing to work with the president.

The National Guard in Los Angeles has detained anti-ICE protesters while providing security for immigration operations, with officials expecting protests to escalate.

National Guard troops already have temporarily detained civilians in the Los Angeles protests over immigration raids.

The Marines and the National Guard personnel deployed amid the protests in to Los Angeles will operate under the same rules of force and will not be engaging crowds unless necessary, according to two U.S. officials.

Massachusetts senators Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey called Trump's move to deploy the National Guard to quell LA protests "authoritarian."

President Trump’s assertions that federal troops have saved the city from destruction did not appear to reflect reality.

Unlike the 1992 riots, protests have mainly been peaceful and been confined to a roughly five-block stretch of downtown LA, a tiny patch in the sprawling city of nearly 4 million people. No one has died. There’s been vandalism and some cars set on fire but no homes or buildings have burned.

Demonstrations in solidarity with Los Angeles protests against immigration raids have spread throughout the country.
