President Donald Trump has deployed 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines to LA. But California Gov. Gavin Newsom and California Attorney General Rob Bonta are suing the Trump administration, saying they unlawfully "trampled over" California’s sovereignty when they federalized the California National Guard.

CalMatters photographers captured immigration sweeps and protests that led up to President Trump's deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles.

President Donald Trump has built his presidency around stretching the bounds of presidential authority, and his response to protests over an immigration crackdown in Los Angeles is no exception.

President Donald Trump has authorized more than 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to respond to protests in Los Angeles. Here's what it means.

Protests in Los Angeles appeared to quiet overnight, but new ones are popping up in other cities. Trump has deployed more than 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to the protests.

As a candidate he promised the largest mass deportation effort the U.S. has seen, and said he would be willing to use military might to make it happen.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday defended the administration's mobilization of the National Guard and members of the Marine Corps to Los Angeles amid ongoing immigration protests.

6:30 p.m.: More than 100 people gathered at the immigration services building and detention center in downtown Los Angeles to protest the raids. DHS officers fired pepper balls at the protesters before the Los Angeles Police Department dispersed the crowd.

The California Governor has sued the U.S. President over the mobilization of the National Guard, calling it “an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism.”

Local officials and Governor Gavin Newsom don’t want the military presence and the police chief has said it creates logistical challenges for safely handling protests.

The Trump administration said it would send 2,000 National Guard troops into Los Angeles after a second day in which protesters confronted immigration agents during raids of local businesses.
