A new poll shows a partisan split on President Donald Trump's troop deployment to quell Los Angeles protests, with 86% of Republicans supporting while Democrats strongly oppose it.

President Donald Trump's deployment of L.A. will be “the first, perhaps, of many,” he told reporters this week.

The California National Guard remain active on the streets of downtown Los Angeles on Friday after an appeals court put an order from a federal judge to remove the soldiers on hold only hours after it was decreed.

The standard to dispatch the military to a state is not simply in the eye of the beholder. There are limited legal circumstances in which a president is supposed to deploy the military domestically.

National Guard troops arrived in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday after being ordered into the city by President Trump in response to a weekend of violent clashes between law enforcement officers and protesters triggered by immigration enforcement operations in the area on Friday.

Harris said the deployment is "part of the Trump Administration's cruel, calculated agenda to spread panic and division."

Protests over immigration raids have broken out in several other cities, including Chicago, New York, San Antonio and Spokane, Washington.
