The Justice Department claims California's request to limit the federal response to violent riots in Los Angeles would "countermand" the president's lawful military directives.

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.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom asked the Trump administration to rescind the deployment, saying the federal government was moving to "take over the California National Guard," calling the move "purposefully inflammatory" and saying it will "only escalate tensions."

California's two U.S. Senators pushed for more information about how hundreds of U.S. Marines were deployed to Los Angeles over the objections of local leaders.

The public feud between California Governor Gavin Newsom and President Trump keeps intensifying, with name calling, insults, and accusations traded over television, and social media networks.

Trump deployed 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines to LA against the wishes of Newsom and Bass. Newsom sued the Trump administration, saying they unlawfully "trampled over" California’s sovereignty when they federalized the California National Guard.
