The White House wants the national guard to play a bigger role in immigration enforcement, Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, said in an interview Thursday.

President Donald Trump's administration said it would deploy 2,000 National Guard troops on Saturday as federal agents in Los Angeles faced off against a few hundred demonstrators during a second day of protests following immigration raids.

A large crowd gathered Monday in a park across from Los Angeles City Hall to protest the arrest of a prominent labor leader. Their signs lambasted President Trump and Immigration and Customs Enforcement as David Huerta was due in court for a bail hearing. Union leaders from across California led the crowd in chants of “Free Huerta now!”
