Armed National Guard troops are accompanying immigration agents as they carry out mass deportation raids on the streets of Los Angeles.
The troops, who were mobilized by President Trump, are providing “operational security” to Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents after they faced attacks and threats from anti-ICE rioters, sources told The Post, which first broke the story.
It’s “in case s–t hits the fan,” said a federal law enforcement source.
… some are concerned that their presence could make the federal immigration agents an even bigger target, the first source said. “They’re showing up with Humvees and uniforms,” the source said.
