LA riots | ‘Won’t let 2020 happen again’: Noem backs Trump move to deploy National Guard troops

Tensions are rising in California as US President Donald Trump called for the deployment of National Guard troops to restore order in Los Angeles amid ongoing protests against ICE operations. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem defended the move, saying it’s necessary to protect peaceful protesters and law enforcement. She warned the White House won’t allow a repeat of the 2020 unrest seen after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
