Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman said 500 National Guard members have been trained to accompany agents on immigration operations.

The National Guard has at times detained protesters in its deployment to Los Angeles, an official said Wednesday, as demonstrations against Immigration and Customs enforcement raids spread to other major cities.

McCrory said the state is put in a “precarious position” when a governor and mayor aren’t willing to work with the president.

National Guard troops already have temporarily detained civilians in the Los Angeles protests over immigration raids.

Army veteran and former Secretary of State Chuck Hagel talks about the potential risks about having military troops deployed in L.A.

The California Governor has sued the U.S. President over the mobilization of the National Guard, calling it “an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism.”
