The US National Guard will be deployed in Los Angeles in the next 24 hours.

The US National Guard will arrive in Los Angeles and will be deployed to quell the protests over the next 24 hours. The New York Times (NYT) wrote about this on June 8, citing a senior law enforcement official.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass on her page on the social network X (ex. Twitter) warned that the National Guard is not in the city yet, as stated by US President Donald Trump. At the same time, Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont criticized the relevant decision of the head of state.

"The mayor of Los Angeles has not requested the National Guard, but he believes he has the right to do whatever he wants," he told CNN. The broadcast was carried out on the State of the Union program page in X.

Sanders added that the president is leading the country down the path of "authoritarianism" and in such a situation, the future of the United States "depends on a small number of Republicans in the House of Representatives and the Senate who know what's best."

Pain and loss: U.S. spent at least $2 million to deport migrants

The Pentagon confirmed to Izvestia the use of C-17 military aircraft for this purpose - one hour of their operation costs more than $19 thousand.

Earlier that day, Trump ordered 2,000 soldiers of the country's National Guard to be sent to Los Angeles amid mass protests over migration raids. The memorandum was published on the White House website. Mass protests in California began after a police raid searching for illegal migrants, as a result of which 45 people were detained. According to Fox News, violent protests broke out after the raid, escalating into clashes between protesters and ICE officers.

In turn, California Governor Gavin Newsom accused Washington of escalation against the background of the decision to send 2,000 National Guard soldiers to Los Angeles without the consent of local authorities.
