National Guard troops protect immigration officers in large-scale LA operation
Briefly

Approximately 90 members of the California National Guard, along with various military vehicles, are assisting immigration officers in a raid at MacArthur Park, a Los Angeles area with many immigrants. This operation follows President Trump's deployment of Guard members and active Marines in response to prior protests concerning immigration actions. While officials clarified that this is not a military operation, they acknowledged its significant military presence may lead the public to perceive it as such. The Guard's primary function is to support immigration enforcement.
The operation in MacArthur Park includes 17 Humvees, four tactical vehicles, two ambulances and armed soldiers, aiding immigration officers in a raid.
President Trump has deployed thousands of Guard members and active duty Marines to Los Angeles in response to protests over previous immigration raids.
