President Donald Trump demanded that the California governor Gavin newsoma were arrested on Monday and that Marines was sent to Los Angeles to troops the California National Guard shortly after Trump’s mobilization to suppress protests without the governor’s consent.
Protests of the activities of immigration and customs authorities in Los Angeles triggered a conflict weekend between demonstrators and federal agents in the city center and near Paramount, California. Newsom said on Monday that California was sued for violating state sovereignty.

Newsom on Sunday challenged Homan say“Come to me, arrest me, let us put it over, hard guy.”
“I would do it if I was Tom,” said Trump when I was asked if Homan Newsom should arrest. “I think it’s great. Gavin likes advertising … He did a terrible job. I like gavin newsoma, he is a nice guy, but he is coarse -compatent, everyone knows.”
Newsom, a Democrat, has framed the conflict with the White House as a basic test for the ability of every state to combine itself.
“This is a preview for the upcoming things,” he told the progressive podcast moderator Brian Tyler Cohen in a clip that the governor’s X account shared on Monday morning. “This is not about LA, in itself. It’s about us today. It’s about you, everyone will watch tomorrow. I promise you. I mean, this type is exclusively. Donald Trump is just excluded.”
Use marines
Approximately 700 US marines Will travel to Los Angeles As part of the federal reaction, according to the US military, with the aim of “protecting federal officials and federal property in the Los Angeles area”. Cnn first reported The mobilization of the marines. The move could continue to worsen the state-federal tension around the protests.
This assignment followed the mobilization of Trump on Sunday by 2,000 members of the California National Guard, also as a newsoma and the mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, vocal.
It was the first time since 1965 – when President Lyndon Johnson sent troops to Alabama To protect demonstrators of civil rights – that a president put the national guard in a state because of the governor’s objections.
Trump also did not rule out to rely on the uprising of 1807 to better control the situation. He and allies have described the demonstrators several times as “supervisors”.

After Calmatters“Demonstrators on Sunday stood with police officers who had fired dozens of less fatal rounds to dispel people on the streets around the federal building 300 in North Los Angeles.
“At least two self-driving vehicles were set on fire near the protest, and the police continued to maintain the rally with rubber balls until far until late afternoon.”
law and order
Trump, who took hours on January 6, 2021 to ask his followers to dispel the US Capitol, and later hundreds of people who are charged with crimes that day, it is necessary to control the California protests to protect ice agents and Californians from demonstrators.
Trump referred to “law and order” top priority and hovered extreme methods to preserve order.
When asked how the bar for the posting from Marines to Los Angeles, he replied: “The bar is what I have for half a stock.”
Defense Minister Pete Hegseth suggested that Marines be used in the situation.
“The National Guard and Marines, if necessary, stand with ice cream,” he posted on Sunday.
State sovereignty in question
Newsom and other democrats have described the apply of troops of the National Guard as a violation of state sovereignty.
The Attorney General of Newsom and California, Rob Bonta, said that they had filed a lawsuit on Monday in which the move was questioned on the 10th changes in the change. The 10th change in the constitution protects the rights of the states.
“Donald Trump creates fear and terror by not adhering to the US constitution and exceeding its authority. This is a crisis produced that enables him to adopt a state militia that damages the foundation of our republic,” said Newsom in a written explanation that announces the lawsuit.
“Every governor, red or blue, should refuse this outrageous presentation. This is beyond incompetence – this is deliberately chaos, terrorizing communities and endangers the principles of our great democracy. It is an unmistakable step towards authoritarianism. We will not leave this.”
A copy of the lawsuit was not immediately available on Monday.
Newsom won the support of its democratic colleagues across the country, including a Sunday opinion From the Democratic Governors Association, a political group that includes every governor of the Blaustate in the country.
“President Trump’s step to use the California national guard is an alarming abuse of power,” said the governors. “Governors are the chief commanders of their national guards, and the federal government, who activate them within their own limits, without consulting or working with the governor of a state is ineffective and threatening. Further threats to send the US Marines into American districts, undermines the mission of our service members, undermines the public trustworthiness and shows that the Trump government does not trusted.”
The Republican governors saw the problem differently, supported Trump and praised his approach to law enforcement.
“Every democratic governor has just supported lawlessness and chaos on American roads”, the RGA said on social media In response to the DGA declaration.
Republicans send similar messages in the congress and describe the apply as a step towards law and order.
“If Gavin Newsom is not enforcing the law, it will be President Trump,” wrote the US Senator of Oklahoma, Markwayne Mullin about X.
