President Donald Trump will deploy 2,000 National Guardsmen to Los Angeles to “address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester,” his press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on Saturday evening, following two days of angry protests over federal immigration actions.

“The Trump Administration has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior and violence, especially when that violence is aimed at law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs,” she posted on X.

Trump’s border Czar Tom Homan said the Guard would arrive on Saturday night.

The announcement came as a Blackhawk helicopter was seen landing on a Paramount street and unloading what appeared to be large amounts of weapons and ammunition.

Federal authorities followed multiple immigration raids around Los Angeles on Friday with another action on Saturday, this time gathering in a Home Depot parking lot in Paramount, where they again faced off with protesters, who turned over shopping carts and other items and lit an American flag on fire in the street.
