Fresno County Sheriff John Zanoni says he supports the use of the National Guard during the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles in recent days. In a statement Tuesday, Zanoni said the National Guard “became necessary once the safety of the residents of the greater Los Angeles area were at risk due to the violent nature of the protesters.”

Demonstrators hit the streets again in L.A. after President Trump deployed the National Guard due to protests against ICE raids.

Governor Newsom deploys over 800 law enforcement officers to Los Angeles to manage unrest after Trump federalizes the National Guard. California agencies and neighboring jurisdictions unite to ensure public safety.
