By Jorge Garcia and Arafat Barbakh LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -California National Guard troops were deployed to the streets of Los Angeles on Sunday to help quell a third day of protests over President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement,

Tensions between the Trump administration and California intensified this weekend as President Donald Trump decided to deploy 2,000 National Guard members to the Los Angeles area, a move the state’s Democratic leaders cast as an unnecessary escalation amid protests over the administration’s immigration policies.

Protests continue in LA, and Trump has said he had to federalize California’s National Guard to “address the lawlessness.”
