National guard officers clashed with protesters in Los Angeles after arriving in the city on the orders of Donald Trump to quell demonstrations against his immigration crackdown. 'We know Trump doesn't like us' said California representative Maxine Waters. 'He's gonna try and make an example out of us,' she said. Asked if he planned to send US troops to Los Angeles, Trump replied, 'We’re gonna have troops everywhere. We’re not going to let this happen to our country. We’re not going to let our country be torn apart like it was under Biden.'
