San Francisco — A federal court hearing is scheduled for Thursday on whether the Trump administration can use the National Guard and Marines to assist with immigration raids in Los Angeles.

Trump credited the military for stopping Los Angeles from turning into a “crime scene” Thursday, while Newsom has said the troops’ presence inflamed protests.

Gavin Newsom's motion for a temporary restraining order that would limit the activities of 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines to protecting federal buildings in a small area of downtown where most of the protests have taken place.

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

Stephen Breyer's brother Charles Breyer will preside over the lawsuit Newsom brought against the Trump administration in California.

California Governor Gavin Newsom accused President Donald Trump of misusing his power by mobilizing troops in Los Angeles and warned other states to prepare for similar unrest, as protests over immigration raids stretched into a fifth night and led to a curfew in parts of the city’s downtown.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom responded to President Donald Trump deploying the National Guard in response to anti-ICE raid protests. Newsom warned that other states could be next, and said Trump “chose escalation.

The Trump administration argued in federal court that any judicial intervention to curtail its deployment of military troops to Los Angeles would endanger federal immigration agents and undermine the president's authority to keep American cities safe.
