What are they going to do?

Do you know what the National Guard is doing now?

They are guarding two buildings.

The Pentagon's deploying 700 Marines to Los Angeles, and President Trump deployed an additional

2,000 members of the National Guard, bringing the total to 4,000 as part of an unprecedented military

response to community protests in L.A. against immigration raids. We'll speak to California

march to Gaza to break the Israeli siege.
