California governor says 'democracy is under assault' by Trump as feds intervene in LA protests
- California Governor Gavin Newsom has mobilized more than 800 officers from both state and local agencies to support law enforcement efforts amid ongoing demonstrations in Los Angeles related to recent immigration enforcement actions.
- The demonstrations started four days ago following targeted operations by federal immigration authorities near Los Angeles, which led to over 40 individuals being detained and heightened unrest.
- President Donald Trump federalized the National Guard and deployed 700 Marines to the region without the governor's request, marking the first such action since 1965.
- Newsom criticized Trump for provoking unrest, saying "Chaos is exactly what Trump wanted," while LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell expressed gratitude for coordinated law enforcement efforts.
- The deployment intensified political tension and legal challenges, with California suing the Trump administration and leaders pledging to coordinate for public safety amid continuing protests.
