Tear gas flies and arrests mount as protesters clash with US immigration officers in Los Angeles
US President Donald Trump has ordered the deployment of 2,000 National Guardsmen to Los Angeles County following several days of violent protests and attacks against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, the White House announced on Saturday.
The latest unrest erupted in the city of Paramount, where demonstrators confronted Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel amid reports of ongoing deportation operations. Though no raid took place at the location in question, tensions escalated near a Home Depot store, where tear gas and less-lethal rounds were fired to disperse the crowd.
“RIOTS & LOOTERS,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, “If Governor Gavin Newscum, of California, and Mayor Karen Bass, of Los Angeles, can’t do their jobs, which everyone knows they can’t, then the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem… the way it should be solved!!!”

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the president had signed a Presidential Memorandum authorizing the National Guard deployment, citing attacks against ICE officers and “lawlessness that has been allowed to fester.” She reiterated the administration’s zero-tolerance stance toward violence directed at law enforcement.
