Trump orders thousands more troops to Los Angeles despite police warnings
Another 2,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines are heading to Los Angeles on orders from President Donald Trump.
The move escalates a military presence that local officials and California governor Gavin Newsom do not want and the police chief says creates logistical challenges for safely handling protests.
An initial 2,000 Guard troops ordered by Mr Trump started arriving on Sunday, which saw the most violence during three days of protests driven by anger over the Republican’s stepped-up enforcement of immigration laws that critics say are breaking apart migrant families.
