The National Guard in Los Angeles has detained anti-ICE protesters while providing security for immigration operations, with officials expecting protests to escalate.

One of Hegseth's top deputies testified Tuesday that the estimated cost of deploying the National Guard to Los Angeles will be $134 million.

Protests in Los Angeles appeared to quiet overnight, but new ones are popping up in other cities. Trump has deployed more than 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to the protests.

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

President Donald Trump did not invoke the Insurrection Act in a June 7 memo that deployed the California National Guard to Los Angeles. He cited a federal law that says if the U.S. faces a rebellion, the president may call into federal service the state National Guard.

National Guard members and Marines deployed to Los Angeles cannot perform law enforcement duties by law. That would change if Trump invokes the Insurrection Act.

Roughly 500 National Guard soldiers in Los Angeles have been trained to assist ICE agents during immigration operations, with limited authority to detain protesters.

Sen. Collins criticized Pres. Trump's deployment of members of the Marines to control protesters in LA. She also said the actions of some of the protesters are "not acceptable forms of protests".

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

Monday's protests were largely calmer than Sunday's clashes. California officials insist that the 4,000 National Guards troops and 700 active duty Marines en route to L.A. are an unnecessary abuse of power by Trump.
