California Gov. Gavin Newsom said President Donald Trump is “pulling a military dragnet” across Los Angeles during a brief public address on Tuesday.

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

The lawsuit seeks to set aside the president’s order calling up troops in response to protests that spread over the weekend.

Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) claim that President Donald Trump is being hypocritical in calling up the National Guard to back Los Angeles police when he wouldn’t on Jan. 6, 2021, was just ripped by the former chief of the U.

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.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -Hundreds of U.S. Marines arrived in Los Angeles overnight and more were expected on Tuesday under orders from President Donald Trump, who has also activated 4,000 National Guard troops to quell protests despite objections from California Governor Gavin Newsom and other local leaders.

About 500 of the National Guard troops deployed to the Los Angeles protests have been trained to accompany agents on immigration operations, the commander in charge said Wednesday.
