Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth deployed an additional 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles. In a Tuesday night press release, U.S. Northern Command announced the deployment of the California National Guard troops under a Title 10 status to protect federal property in the city.

Amid the back-and-forth between Hegseth and Democrats at a House Appropriations Committee defense subpanel hearing, the Pentagon's acting comptroller also told lawmakers that the LA deployments are expected to cost at least $134 million.
