President Donald Trump pledged Sunday to send whatever is necessary to California to respond to two days of protests in Los Angeles triggered by sweeping immigration raids.

“We’re going to have troops everywhere, we’re not going to let this happen to our country,” Trump told reporters as he headed to Camp David, adding that he believes what occurred in LA was “a riot.”
