Marines and additional National Guard troops headed to Los Angeles on Tuesday, sent in by President Donald Trump in response to protests over immigration raids despite the objections of the governor and local leaders.

Los Angeles residents and experts say that the National Guard's presence in Los Angeles in response to immigration protests is reminiscent of a long-standing dynamic in the state and around the country.

The temporary restraining order request alleges the deployment “escalates tensions and promotes (rather than quells) civil unrest.”
