The US Northern Command said members of the California 79th Infantry Brigade Combat Team are now on the ground in Los Angeles.
President Donald Trump signed a presidential memorandum last night deploying 2,000 National Guardsmen to Los Angeles to disperse protests that began in response to immigration raids on Friday.
“Additional information will be provided as units are identified and deployed,” NORTHCOM said in a social media post.
Separately, the California governor’s office said in a statement that 300 National Guardsmen were “deployed between 0200-0400 Sunday at three sites around Los Angeles.”
