In Los⁤ Angeles, the National ​Guard is now ⁢assisting⁢ ICE officers during arrest operations, marking⁣ an⁣ expansion of their duties⁢ beyond securing federal ⁣facilities. ‍ICE confirmed the ​Guard provides perimeter and personnel security, reflecting the trump ⁢administration’s focus​ on immigration enforcement.

Defense Secretary pete Hegseth recently addressed lawmakers’ concerns regarding⁤ the⁢ troop deployment to Los ⁣Angeles. ⁤He⁣ defended the decision as vital for ⁣maintaining order, echoing ⁤President Trump’s‍ earlier claims about ⁣the ⁣city’s potential ​instability without⁣ intervention. A CBS/YouGov poll ​indicated that 54%⁣ of ⁤Americans‌ support trump’s immigration enforcement policies.
