Some 2,000 National Guardsmen will be deployed to Los Angeles to “address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester,” the president’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt

Tear gas was fired at protesters in Los Angeles on Sunday when some demonstrators moved close to National Guard troops and shouted insults at them, hours after President Donald Trump’s extraordinary deployment of the military over the objections of the governor and mayor.

Clashes between immigration authorities and protesters continued for a second day Saturday, this time in Paramount. Border patrol agents used tear gas cannisters to disperse crowds, while protesters threw rocks at their vehicles.
