Trump has so far deployed 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 active-duty Marines to Los Angeles to quell clashes over Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids. Protests rolled into their sixth day on Wednesday as law enforcement and protesters continued to lob tear gas and rocks at each other.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass issued a curfew for parts of downtown as anti-ICE demonstrations continued for a fifth consecutive day, some of which have turned violent between protesters and law enforcement.

Both Trump and his "border czar," Tom Homan, have said California officials could face arrest if they're perceived as impeding ICE operations.

President Donald Trump hit back at Gov. Gavin Newsom's claims that the president did not call him recently, showing a screenshot of the call to Fox News.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Another 2,000 National Guard troops along with 700 Marines are headed to Los Angeles on orders from President Donald Trump, escalating a military presence local officials and Gov. Gavin Newsom don’t want and the police chief says creates logistical challenges for safely handling protests.

By calling in the National Guard to quell protests in Los Angeles, Trump is 'inciting and provoking violence,' Newsom says.

The temporary restraining order request alleges the deployment “escalates tensions and promotes (rather than quells) civil unrest.”

Protests surrounding immigration enforcement actions in the Los Angeles area and the Trump administration's response to them have cued up a public spat between President Trump and Gov. Newsom.
