Emergency request comes as state sues Trump administration over sending National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles protests
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has demanded a restraining order against President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, claiming they are preparing to use U.S. Marines on ICE raids in Los Angeles.
4:47 p.m. EDT The Trump administration asked the judge to reject Newsom’s request and allow it to respond by Wednesday, calling Newsom’s attempt to block the deployment of federal troops “legally meritless” and saying it would jeopardize the safety of Homeland Security personnel and interfere with the government’s ability to carry out operations.
Impact Social data shared with Newsweek showed a plurality—32 percent—of swing voters are responding positively to Trump's response, while 19 percent are responding negatively. Forty-nine percent are responding neutrally to Trump's approach, sharing mostly "emotionless" reaction or news articles about the protests.
President Trump said Tuesday the deployed National Guard members will leave Los Angeles “when there’s no danger.”
The National Guard was deployed to Los Angeles County as anti-ICE protests escalated over the weekend. The unrest is centered in the city of Paramount, California, where rioters clashed with federal authorities,
