California Governor Gavin Newsom blasts the federal government's response to anti-immigration raid protests as "purposefully inflammatory".

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 Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are visiting Fort Bragg, the nation's largest military installation, on Tuesday, after sending the National Guard and U.S. Marines to respond to protests in Los Angeles.

U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer, a former Watergate prosecutor, will decide whether Trump had the legal authority to federalize 4,000 California National Guard troops.

President Trump has authorized the deployment of 4,000 California National Guard troops and about 700 Marines to LA, despite Gov. Gavin Newsom's objections.

Trump watched the U.S. Army demonstrate a missile strike, a helicopter assault and a building raid at Fort Bragg on Tuesday.

Other Republicans support Trump's decision to deploy National Guard and Marines. Speaker Mike Johnson on Tuesday once again aligned himself with President Donald Trump, saying the president is "absolutely right" to send the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles as protests over against Immigration and Customs Enforcement continue-- and sided with the president's criticism of California Gov.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta said Monday that he’ll soon file a lawsuit against the Trump administration for federalizing National Guard troops this weekend.
