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.

The U.S. military deployments that President Donald Trump has directed in response to unrest in Los Angeles are expected to cost $134 million for 60 days of operations, a senior defense official said at a hearing Tuesday.

Protests surrounding immigration enforcement actions in the Los Angeles area and the Trump administration's response to them have cued up a public spat between President Trump and Gov. Newsom.

The ongoing protests in Los Angeles began with small demonstrations against immigration raids in the nation's second largest city.

Tensions flared in Los Angeles late Monday after Trump escalated military presence in the region against the wishes of California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

The Pentagon’s deployment of about 700 Marines to Los Angeles to join the National Guard’s response to immigration protests follows weeks of rapid-fire developments as President Donald Trump pursues his top domestic priority for mass deportations.
