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

President Donald Trump has deployed the National Guard to quell riots in Los Angeles, taking more firm actions than he did against violent protests in 2020 after George Floyd's death.

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.

On Tuesday, the X page for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) posted photos of California National Guardsmen on the scene of a detention being carried out by an ICE agent with the caption "Photos from today's ICE Los Angeles immigration enforcement operation."

The Justice Department claims California's request to limit the federal response to violent riots in Los Angeles would "countermand" the president's lawful military directives.

Police arrested more than 20 people, mostly on curfew violations, on the first night of restrictions in downtown Los Angeles.
