National Guard troops arrived in downtown Los Angeles Sunday after President Donald Trump ordered their deployment in response to two days of occasionally violent protests over federal immigration raids.

Over strenuous objection from local Democratic officials, troops arrived downtown at around 4 a.m. Sunday.

“@TheCalGuard 79th IBCT has deployed approximately 300 soldiers to 3 separate locations in the greater Los Angeles area. They are conducting safety and protection of federal property & personnel,” the U.S. Northern Command posted at 9:07 a.m. Sunday.

“The National Guard is present and actively protecting federal assets in Los Angeles,” U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli posted on X. “Anyone thinking about showing up to damage federal property or to assault our agents, think again.”
