Trump said the state’s Democratic leaders should be grateful for his help, while Gavin Newsom said the president’s actions have ‘destabilized’ the situation.

Newsom plans to file suit against the Trump administration to roll back the National Guard deployment, which he called “an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act.”

Downtown Los Angeles has been declared an unlawful assembly area following protests that erupted this weekend over the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta says the state’s sovereignty was “trampled” by President Donald Trump when he ordered National Guard troops to the immigration protests in Los Angeles.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom asked the Trump administration to rescind the deployment, saying the federal government was moving to "take over the California National Guard," calling the move "purposefully inflammatory" and saying it will "only escalate tensions."

State law, in fact, specifically prohibits local law enforcement from working with federal immigration enforcement operations in most instances.
