Newsom Vows Lawsuit Against Trump Over National Guard Deployment to LA

Los Angeles erupts in protests against immigration sweeps as Trump deploys National Guard without Newsom's consent. California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced plans to sue the Trump administration over the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles without his approval. The move comes amidst violent anti-ICE protests in the city, where demonstrators clashed with police, set cars ablaze, and caused widespread property damage. Newsom described the president's actions as an "unconstitutional act." "The president's decision to deploy the National Guard without my consent is a blatant disregard for the rule of law and an affront to the people of California," Newsom stated in a press conference. The protests, which began last week, have seen hundreds of demonstrators take to the streets to oppose the Trump administration's immigration policies. Footage from the demonstrations shows protestors blocking roads, setting vehicles on fire, and engaging in confrontations with law enforcement. In response to the violence, Trump asserted his authority to deploy federal troops to restore order. "We will not tolerate lawlessness in our streets," Trump declared in a tweet. The legal challenge from California is expected to intensify the already strained relationship between the state and federal government. Legal experts predict a protracted legal battle, with the outcome potentially shaping the future of federal intervention in state-level matters. The situation underscores the deep divisions within the country over immigration and the use of federal power.
