June 8 (UPI) -- The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department arrested one person overnight in Paramount, a city in Los Angeles County, amid ongoing protests against raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, officials said Sunday.
The sheriff's department confirmed the arrest by email to UPI but did not provide any further details about the arrest.
More protests have been planned in Los Angeles ahead of the arrival of National Guardsmen called up by President Donald Trump to curb the demonstrations, as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said he might send in U.S. Marines if necessary to aid them.
"The National Guard, and Marines if need be, stand with ICE," Hegseth said. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement to UPI late Saturday that the administration has "a zero tolerance for criminal behavior and violence," especially violence allegedly targeted at law enforcement.
