President Donald Trump's deployment of L.A. will be “the first, perhaps, of many,” he told reporters this week.

Los Angeles residents and experts say the National Guard's presence in Los Angeles in response to immigration protests is reminiscent of a long-standing dynamic in the state and around the country.

The disagreement between President Donald Trump and California Gov. Gavin Newsom over Trump deploying state National Guard troops to Los Angeles is now being debated in court. We’ll explain how the situation developed and answer some common questions.

Gov. Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta filed an emergency request to block expansion of what they called the Trump administration's "unlawful militarization."

WASHINGTON (AP) — National Guard troops already have temporarily detained civilians in the Los Angeles protests over immigration raids, the commander in charge said Wednesday, but they quickly turned them over to law enforcement.

The California National Guard remain active on the streets of downtown Los Angeles on Friday after an appeals court put an order from a federal judge to remove the soldiers on hold only hours after it was decreed.

McCrory said the state is put in a “precarious position” when a governor and mayor aren’t willing to work with the president.

A temporary restraining order said the deployment of the Guard was illegal and exceeded Trump’s statutory authority.

Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., has continued to defend himself and refute the claims by the Trump administration that he crashed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's news conference before federal officers shoved him outside the room, pushed him onto the floor and handcuffed him.
