LA protests continue for fifth day, Trump defends National Guard deployment decision

Demonstrators and Police faced off in scattered protests in Los Angeles, California, for the fifth day in a row after ice deportation arrests Friday sparked civil unrest.

Meanwhile, President Trump continues to defend his decision to activate 700 Marines, on top of the deployment of about 2,000 additional National Guard members, to manage the demonstrations.

The move has enraged the state’s politicians, prompting legal action, and has officials questioning the price tag that will come along with it.
