Guardsmen will now be protecting ICE at raids
National Guardsmen have carried out 26 missions since they were deployed to Los Angeles, Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman of the National Guard said. A handful of those assignments have been to guard facilities and the remaining have been missions protecting ICE on raids, he said.

Sherman had told ABC News and The Associated Press in a joint interview on Wednesday that 500 of the 4,000 National Guardsmen assigned to LA had been specifically trained to work with these ICE teams. Now that the Guardsmen who had been protecting the federal buildings are being replaced by 200 Marines, those Guardsmen will be trained to working on ICE raids.
"I would like to emphasize that the soldiers will not participate in law enforcement activities," Sherman said. "Rather, they'll be focused on protecting federal law enforcement personnel."
