The National Guard in Los Angeles has detained anti-ICE protesters while providing security for immigration operations, with officials expecting protests to escalate.

Police and elected officials say the troops and Marines sent by the Trump administration are not properly trained to interact with civilians. A judge will decide whether to limit their duties.

Actor John Leguizamo is among the celebrities who've commented on the protests, saying that "protesting is as American as apple pie."

Secretary of Defense Hegseth was questioned on Capitol Hill about President Trump’s order to send the National Guard to help address protests in Los Angeles. Rep. Adam Smith (D-CA) joins Ana Cabrera to discuss the legality and cost of Trump’s directive.

Johnson was asked if it's "hypocritical" for Trump to condemn anti-ICE protesters' clashes with police after he pardoned all the January 6 convicts.

Mayor Bass announced a curfew for downtown Los Angeles following four nights of sporadically chaotic protests. Also, ICE has expanded into rural communities following days of coordinated raids in urban areas of Los Angeles County.

About 500 of the National Guard troops deployed to the Los Angeles protests have been trained to accompany agents on immigration operations, the commander in charge said Wednesday.
