President Donald Trump has deployed 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines to LA. But California Gov. Gavin Newsom and California Attorney General Rob Bonta are suing the Trump administration, saying they unlawfully "trampled over" California’s sovereignty when they federalized the California National Guard.

The Pentagon’s deployment of about 700 Marines to Los Angeles to join the National Guard’s response to immigration protests follows weeks of rapid-fire developments as President Donald Trump pursues his top domestic priority for mass deportations.

Anti-ICE protests continue in Los Angeles after the National Guard was deployed following immigration enforcement actions.

The ongoing protests in Los Angeles began with small demonstrations against immigration raids in the nation's second largest city.

President Donald Trump is moving swiftly to act on his immigration promises with little internal restraint, determined to test the bounds of his executive authority in order to fulfill the promises of his reelection campaign.

During a subcommittee hearing, Democratic Rep. Pete Aguilar of California pressed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth about President Donald Trump’s decision to mobilize the National Guard and deploy Marines to help quell protests in Los Angeles.

California Governor Gavin Newsom, who is suing the Trump administration, calls the president "dictatorial" and "deranged".
