President Donald Trump has signed a presidential memorandum deploying 2,000 National Guardsmen to disperse protests over immigration activity in the Los Angeles area, the White House said in a statement Saturday night.

People were seen chanting and yelling while walking along the street near a Home Depot in Paramount, about 15 miles from downtown Los Angeles. A protest erupted in Los Angeles today as the region’s top federal prosecutor said federal law enforcement operations were “proceeding as planned” across the county.

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 demonstrators for a second day following immigration raids.
