Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman said 500 National Guard members have been trained to accompany agents on immigration operations.

National Guard troops already have temporarily detained civilians in the Los Angeles protests over immigration raids.

McCrory said the state is put in a “precarious position” when a governor and mayor aren’t willing to work with the president.

The National Guard has at times detained protesters in its deployment to Los Angeles, an official said Wednesday, as demonstrations against Immigration and Customs enforcement raids spread to other major cities.

It's been five days since anti-ICE demonstrations erupted in Los Angeles, some turning violent between protesters and law enforcement officers, prompting President Trump to deploy National Guard troops and hundreds of Marines.

President Trump’s assertions that federal troops have saved the city from destruction did not appear to reflect reality.

Trump slammed Gov. Gavin Newsom, who previously called Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to California “deranged.”
