President Donald Trump's administration said it would deploy 2,000 National Guard troops on Saturday as federal agents in Los Angeles faced off against a few hundred demonstrators during a second day of protests following immigration raids.

President Donald Trump praised the National Guard for their work after violent protests erupted in Los Angeles over the administration's crackdown on immigration enforcement, with demonstrations set to continue into the afternoon on June 8.

National Guard troops arrived in Los Angeles early Sunday on the order of President Trump after protests roiled the city in recent days as federal law enforcement officers carried out immigration operations in the region.
