From New York Times, I'm Michael Bobarrow. This is the Daily.

During an extraordinary weekend, President Trump deployed 2,000 troops from the National Guard to suppress a protest in Los Angeles against his own immigration policies,

Elon Musk when an even bigger story emerge from the city you cover for the Times as Bureau Chief.

So we want you to tell us that story, the story you're covering from your car, about how we

reached this point where the president has deployed the National Guard to put down protests

in the city, which are still very much ongoing as we talk to you at almost 8 o'clock
