According to US media reports on June 7 local time, as protests against the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Los Angeles are intensifying, US President Trump decided to send the National Guard to Los Angeles. The White House issued a statement on the 7th saying that US President Trump signed a presidential memorandum to deploy 2,000 National Guard members to deal with the ongoing deteriorating illegal acts.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Bureau and other federal agencies dispatched a large number of law enforcement personnel on the 6th to carry out law enforcement actions against illegal immigrants in many places in Los Angeles County, California, triggering a large number of street confrontations, chaos and conflicts. That night, about 500 protesters gathered in downtown Los Angeles and tried to storm a detention center, clashing with police officers who came to maintain order. The White House statement said that after the violence, Democratic leaders in California "completely gave up their responsibility to protect citizens." In response to Trump and the White House's statement, Newsom, California, posted on social media that the federal government's approach to sending the National Guard to California will only intensify the conflict.
