Protesters have confronted authorities in Los Angeles, Paramount and neighboring Compton since Friday over raids conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. On Monday, tensions continued to rise — between protesters and authorities, and between federal and local officials over how to respond.
Over the weekend, Trump administration officials announced they were calling up the National Guard in response to what the White House said were “violent mobs” attacking “ICE Officers and Federal Law Enforcement Agents carrying out basic deportation operations in Los Angeles.” NPR confirmed Monday that 700 Marines would also be sent to L.A. in a support role.
The 60-day deployment of National Guard and Marines to L.A. is expected to cost $134 million, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and lower-level defense officials told a California congressman Tuesday morning. California has filed a lawsuit against the administration over the deployment.

David Huerta, who leads the powerful Service Employees International Union California, was released from custody on Monday after his arrest during a downtown L.A. immigration raid set off a firestorm.
