US President Donald Trump has deployed 2,000 National Guardsmens to Los Angeles in response to protests over immigration enforcement in the city.
The deployment of troops to LA comes after objections from California’s Governor Gavin Newsom and a second day of clashes between hundreds of protesters and federal immigration authorities in riot gear.
Confrontations escalated in the heavily Latino city of Paramount, south of Los Angeles.
Federal agents were based at a Homeland Security office and made use of tear gas, flash-bangs, and pepper balls, while protesters threw rocks and debris at Border Patrol vehicles.
