Tap title to read story
President Trump deployed 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines to Los Angeles to quell protests against his administration's strict immigration policy. He warned this could be the first of many such deployments nationwide, threatening "equal or greater force" against future protests. Trump considered invoking the Insurrection Act, authorizing military deployment to suppress domestic unrest, despite claims of limited violence. While some Republicans support the action, Democrats criticize it as a provocative breach of state sovereignty.
