About the episode
US President Donald Trump has vowed to "liberate Los Angeles", deploying 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to quell anti-immigration enforcement unrest. Speaking from Fort Bragg, he blamed gangs and foreign-backed rioters, continuing to insist military force is needed to restore order. Critics, including Mayor Karen Bass, say the move has spread fear among immigrants.
