  On June 17, the Trump administration activated an additional 2,000 National Guard troops from the 49th Military Police Brigade to Los Angeles.
  
  On the morning of June 17, a 20-year-old Walmart employee and U.S. citizen witnessed Border Patrol agents arresting another employee in front of the store in Pico Rivera. After he moved the other employee's trash can in front of the agents' vehicle, agents shoved the first employee to the ground and arrested him, with prosecutor Bill Essayli claiming he punched an agent in the face, though bystander video did not show this. That night, friends of the arrested employee held a protest in Pico Rivera, chanting "ICE out of Pico" and waving Mexican and American flags.
