Trump deploys National Guard to stop LA immigration protests, defying California’s governor. Why experts call the move dangerous
- President Donald Trump deployed 2,100 National Guard troops on Sunday and 2,000 more Guardsmen plus 700 Marines on Monday to Los Angeles to quell protests against immigration raids.
- These deployments followed ICE raids starting on June 6 that arrested over 100 people and sparked protests that state leaders called unlawful militarization.
- California’s governor and the state’s top legal officer filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on Monday, seeking a court order to halt the deployment of military forces in the state, arguing that it infringes on California’s sovereignty.
- Newsom stated the federal government is turning the military against citizens and the lawsuit alleges Trump exceeded his authority by deploying troops without state consent, which federal law requires.
- The military deployment escalated tensions, and a nationwide protest including Hawaii is planned for June 14, reflecting widespread unrest over immigration enforcement policies.
