US President Donald Trump has ordered 2,000 National Guardsmen to Los Angeles to deal with unrest over raids on undocumented migrants.

Trump said the federal government would “step in and solve the problem”, after the Californian city saw a second day of clashes between protesters and federal agents.

Tear gas was used to disperse crowds as residents of the predominantly Latino Paramount district clashed with Immigration and ICE agents earlier in the day.

As many as 118 arrests were made in LA this week as a result of ICE operations, including 44 on Friday. California Governor Gavin Newsom has condemned the raids as “cruel”.
