Federal immigration raids sparked massive unrest this past weekend in Los Angeles, prompting President Donald Trump to deploy 300 National Guard troops without California’s consent, the first such override in decades. Smaller raids and protests also happened in other California cities. Critics say the military deployment is Trumpian political theater to project toughness, according to CNN. About 500 Marines remain on standby. Police fired tear gas and flash-bangs as protesters set fire to self-driving cars and protested; they also declared downtown L.A. an “unlawful assembly zone.”
