Trump orders National Guard to LA after clashes
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gkyggekgyo
US President Donald Trump has ordered 2,000 National Guardsmen to Los Angeles to deal with unrest over raids on undocumented migrants.
Trump said the federal government would "step in and solve the problem", after the Californian city saw a second day of clashes between protesters and federal agents.
Tear gas was used to disperse crowds as residents of the predominantly Latino Paramount district clashed with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents earlier in the day.
As many as 118 arrests were made in LA this week as a result of ICE operations, including 44 on Friday. California Governor Gavin Newsom has condemned the raids as "cruel".
Trump thanked the National Guard for a "job well done" in Los Angeles late on Saturday night. Despite this, the troops did not appear to have arrived in the city.
Early on Sunday the New York Times website quoted a federal official as saying that the force would arrive within 24 hours.
Trump criticised the city's Democratic governor and mayor in a post on his Truth Social platform, calling them "incompetent". He also said protesters would no longer be allowed to wear masks.
