Tensions are escalating between President Donald Trump and California Gov. Gavin Newsom as protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement continue to grip Los Angeles and spread to New York City, San Francisco, Boston, Austin, Texas, and other cities.
LA Mayor Karen Bass issued an overnight curfew for about 1 square mile in downtown LA, which has been the site of clashes between police and protesters over the last five days.
Trump deployed 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines to LA against the wishes of Newsom and Bass. Newsom sued the Trump administration, saying they unlawfully «trampled over» California’s sovereignty when they federalized the California National Guard.
