00:00President Trump is deploying 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles, escalating a stand-up with California state government.
00:07The move follows clashes on Saturday between protesters and federal immigration agents in the city of Paramount.
00:17Agents in riot gear used tear gas while some demonstrators threw rocks after a week of immigration sweeps that saw over 100 arrests.
00:24California Governor Gavin Newsom accused the federal government of deliberately creating chaos to escalate the situation.
00:35On Saturday, President Trump posted that if local leaders fail to control rioters and looters, the federal government will.
00:42Defense Secretary Pete Hexet also threatened to mobilize active-duty Marines.
00:47But Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass insisted state and local authorities had control and the Guard was not needed.
00:55The unrest also saw the arrest on Friday of union leader David Huerta drawing condemnation from senior Democrats.
01:03The Trump administration's threats come as the Los Angeles Police Department says protests across the city are now proceeding peacefully.
01:10The Trump administration is the Tory-Divit Luan, who is the leader of the U.S.
