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

Trump credited the military for stopping Los Angeles from turning into a “crime scene” Thursday, while Newsom has said the troops’ presence inflamed protests.

Gavin Newsom's motion for a temporary restraining order that would limit the activities of 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines to protecting federal buildings in a small area of downtown where most of the protests have taken place.

The California Governor has sued the U.S. President over the mobilization of the National Guard, calling it “an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism.”

A federal judge on Tuesday night declined California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s request for an immediate temporary restraining order to restrict President Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops and U.

President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of 2,000 National Guards troops to quell immigration protests in Los Angeles, overriding California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s objections in a rare move.
