President Donald Trump's National Guard deployment in Los Angeles ignites political debate as Republicans blame sanctuary policies for riots, while Democrats accuse Trump of creating chaos during ICE operations.

Judge Charles Breyer ordered the administration to return control of the National Guard to the California governor, but an appeals court stayed the extraordinary decision Thursday night.

President Donald Trump's deployment of L.A. will be “the first, perhaps, of many,” he told reporters this week.

A new poll shows a partisan split on President Donald Trump's troop deployment to quell Los Angeles protests, with 86% of Republicans supporting while Democrats strongly oppose it.

A U.S. appeals court on Thursday allowed President Donald Trump to maintain his deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles amid protests over stepped-up immigration enforcement, temporarily pausing a lower court ruling that blocked the mobilization.

A federal judge ruled that President Trump exceeded his authority by federalizing the California National Guard without the consent of Gov. Gavin Newsom.

About 500 of the National Guard troops deployed to the Los Angeles protests have been trained to accompany agents on immigration operations, the commander in charge said Wednesday.
