The protests erupted over the weekend and turned violent, prompting Trump to activate 2,000 guard members to restore order. Protests began in response to ICE activities,leading to clashes and unrest,with participants reportedly using rocks and improvised explosive devices against law enforcement. <\/p>\n<p>While Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the federal response and argued that the deployment of the National Guard was unnecessary, some officials, including U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli,emphasized the need for military support to maintain public safety. Trump expressed gratitude towards the National Guard for their efforts and condemned the protests as instigated by radical left agitators. despite the increased police presence and National Guard troops, violence persisted, and further protests were anticipated.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">National Guard arrives in Los Angeles to combat ICE protests following Trump order<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2075354\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>National Guard members arrived in <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/los-angeles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Los Angeles<\/a> on Sunday morning after President <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Donald Trump<\/a> signed a presidential memorandum taking command of 2,000 guard members to quell anti-ICE <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3434771\/homan-national-guard-to-be-deployed-los-angeles-amid-riots\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Gavin Newsom\">protests<\/a> in the city. <\/p>\n<p>Protests broke out in Los Angeles on Friday in response to a wave of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids targeting illegal immigrants.
