The National Guard has arrived in Los Angeles, but they were not requested by California. Both Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass made it clear that the state did not authorize or want federal troops deployed.

Nothing like being a parent walking around a place away from home your kid frequents, only to find a Tupperware item you didn't know you were missing, full of questionable leftovers.
