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.

Whitmer signed a statement with 21 other Democratic governors, supporting California Gov. Gavin Newsom, warning of Trump's "alarming abuse of power."

Law enforcement authorities fired tear gas on a group of protesters gathered in Los Angeles on Sunday, hours after President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard to the city in an effort to quell recent unrest against federal immigration authorities.
