Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth deployed an additional 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles.

In a Tuesday night press release, U.S. Northern Command announced the deployment of the California National Guard troops under a Title 10 status to protect federal property in the city. Task Force 51, as the force in Los Angeles is designated, previously consisted of roughly 4,100 National Guard troops and 700 Marines, deployed last week in response to anti-ICE riots in the city.
