National Guard arrives in Los Angeles after anti-ICE protests, stationed at federal facilities

The California National Guard arrived in Los Angeles on Sunday morning after Saturday's protest activity against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids.

The National Guard members, who are from the 79th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, are there to protect federal buildings and other federal facilities located in the area.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the National Guard members will also help with crowd control.

"These 2000 National Guard soldiers that are being engaged today are ones that are specifically trained for this type of crowd situation, where they'll be with the public and be able to provide safety around buildings and to those that are engaged in peaceful protests, and also to our law enforcement officers so they can continue their daily work," Noem said on CBS News' "Face the Nation" on Sunday.

NBC News has posted video of the National Guard arriving in downtown Los Angeles. Getty Images photos show National Guard troops stationed at the Metropolitan Detention Center.
