National Guard troops deployed in LA
June 9
President Donald Trump announced the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops in California to disperse protests sparked by immigration raids. Immigration authorities and demonstrators have clashed for two days in the Los Angeles area, with no rest since the beginning of Friday after dozens of people were detained by federal immigration agents across different locations.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom called Trump on Friday, and they spoke for approximately 40 minutes. Trump has claimed, without evidence, that he was forced to step in because California Democratic officials, including Newsom, were incapable of stopping the protests themselves.
Stephen Montoya, Partner at Montoya, Lucero & Pastor joins Arizona Horizon to discuss more on what President Trump had to say and what will happen next.
