On Sunday, President Trump deployed the military to face off against hundreds of people immigration raids. The confrontation took place outside the Metropolitan Detention Center and included around 300 National Guard troops who lined up with riot shields and fired tear gas at protestors.

The move appeared to be the first time in decades that a state’s national guard was activated without a request from its governor.
