California governor says 'democracy is under assault' by Trump as feds intervene in LA protests
- California Governor Gavin Newsom said democracy is under assault as the Trump administration deployed over 4,000 National Guard troops in Los Angeles amid protests.
- The deployment followed large protests sparked by immigration raids that spread beyond Los Angeles to cities like New York and Chicago.
- A federal judge denied Newsom's emergency request to block the deployment of federalized troops enforcing immigration law in civilian areas of Los Angeles.
- Newsom called the crackdown an overreach and warned it risks 'devastating consequences' by importing a 'warrior culture' into American cities.
- The ongoing tensions and troop deployments signal an escalation in federal-state conflict and raise national concerns about the use of military force in domestic law enforcement.
