Los Angeles, United States - June 08, 2025 Hours after hundreds of National Guard troops ordered by President Trump deployed to Los Angeles on Sunday, they were met with protesters reacting to dozens of arrests in ongoing Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in and around the Southern California city. A confrontation broke out as a group of demonstrators protested in front of the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown L.A. It followed a similar scene that occurred Saturday when a group of federal agents fired flash-bang grenades and tear gas canisters toward protesters outside the detention center After clashes between immigration authorities and demonstrators in the cities of Paramount and neighboring Compton, where a car was set on fire, Mr. Trump signed a memo Saturday ordering the deployment of at least 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles County.
