Around 300 troops were first to arrive Sunday morning at several sites in L.A., including near a detention center holding those swept up in ice raids. Those arrests starting Friday sparked demonstrations. Some protesters hurled rocks and cement at federal agents, who unleashed tear gas, flashbangs and pepper balls. Trump says Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass can't handle the task.
