National Guard troops arrived in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday after being ordered into the city by President Trump in response to a weekend of violent clashes between law enforcement officers and protesters triggered by immigration enforcement operations in the area on Friday.

As anti-ICE protests rage in Los Angeles, the movement has rapidly spread to Texas, with hundreds marching in Austin and Dallas. Demonstrators demand an end to Trump’s immigration crackdown and the deployment of federal forces.

California governor Gavin Newsom has called the move ‘purposefully inflammatory’ and warned that it would ‘only escalate tensions’
