Trump Deploys 2,000 More Troops to Los Angeles, Sparking Outrage
The Trump administration further federalized approximately 2,000 National Guard troops in Los Angeles, bringing the total to 4,100, under Title 10 authority, citing the need to protect federal assets. These troops, from the 49th Military Police Brigade, will not engage in civilian law enforcement. This action follows a court challenge by Governor Newsom, who argues the deployment is unnecessary political theater, diverting troops from other critical duties. A federal appeals court temporarily blocked a lower court order returning control of the troops to the state.
