Trump deployed 2,000 California National Guard troops to Los Angeles on Saturday in a stunning move to tone down the mass protests. California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) ripped Trump over his decision, saying that Trump blindsided him for sending the troops without his permission.

Police declared all of downtown Los Angeles to be an unlawful assembly area and ordered protesters to go home on Sunday night after a third day of violence hit demonstrations against President Donald Trump's immigration policy.

Tensions in Los Angeles escalated as thousands of protesters took to the streets in response to President Trump’s extraordinary deployment of the National Guard, blocking off a major freeway and setting autonomous vehicles on fire.
