Army veteran and former Secretary of State Chuck Hagel talks about the potential risks about having military troops deployed in L.A.

WASHINGTON (AP) — National Guard troops already have temporarily detained civilians in the Los Angeles protests over immigration raids, the commander in charge said Wednesday, but they quickly turned them over to law enforcement.

Gov. Greg Abbott, a staunch supporter of President Trump’s immigration agenda, is the first governor to call on the National Guard as protests spread to multiple cities.

In response to the protests in his state, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, has announced that he intends to deploy the National Guard across the state to “ensure peace and order” ahead of further planned demonstrations against the Trump Administration’s immigration policies.
