President Donald Trump has built his presidency around stretching the bounds of presidential authority, and his response to protests over an immigration crackdown in Los Angeles is no exception.

More demonstrations are under way in Los Angeles as the Trump Administration more than tripled the number of troops in the city and Gov. Gavin Newsom sued to stop him.

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.

President Donald Trump has authorized more than 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to respond to protests in Los Angeles. Here's what it means.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday defended the administration's mobilization of the National Guard and members of the Marine Corps to Los Angeles amid ongoing immigration protests.

Los Angeles residents and experts say that the National Guard's presence in Los Angeles in response to immigration protests is reminiscent of a long-standing dynamic in the state and around the country.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and 22 other Democratic governors called Trump's action an "alarming abuse of power."

For months during the 2024 campaign, Donald Trump promised to use the military domestically. His campaign telegraphed it via news coverage and reports from friendly nonprofits; Trump mused about using soldiers against protests.

California's attorney general filed a lawsuit on behalf of the state Monday, suing the Trump administration over its deployment of National Guard troops in downtown Los Angeles amid immigration protests.

Tensions flared in Los Angeles late Monday after Trump escalated military presence in the region against the wishes of California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

The Marines and the National Guard personnel deployed amid the protests in to Los Angeles will operate under the same rules of force and will not be engaging crowds, according to two U.S. officials.

The California Governor has sued the U.S. President over the mobilization of the National Guard, calling it “an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism.”
