US President Donald Trump has ordered the National Guard to Los Angeles to deal with unrest over immigration raids.

It comes after a second day of unrest in the Californian city, with residents of a predominantly Latino district clashing with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) federal agents.

Tear gas and “less lethal munitions” have been used to disperse crowds in the Paramount district.

“To the extent that protests or acts of violence directly inhibit the execution of the laws, they constitute a form of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States.” Trump says in an order saying National Guard units will “temporarily protect” law immigration officers.

California Governor Gavin Newsom says on social media: “The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.

“Don’t give them one.

Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.”
