President Trump issued a memo authorizing the National Guard to post up in Los Angeles, but California Gov. Gavin Newsom has called it "illegal."

At a news conference, Bonta said the lawsuit against the administration would be filed Monday afternoon, calling Trump's move "unnecessary, counterproductive and most importantly unlawful." Bonta said Trump's order abused the federal government's authority and "trampled over" Gov.

About 700 Marines have been mobilized to support National Guard members assigned to protect federal personnel and property in Los Angeles after a weekend of protests and violence, according to two defense officials.
