The 700 Marines deployed by the Trump administration to Los Angeles are expected to be on the streets later today or Friday. They will support up to 4,000 National Guard troops in protecting federal property and agents,

The new line of attack from Newsom, who is widely considered a top contender for president in 2028, comes after he told Fox LA earlier this week that Trump “is not the same person that I dealt with just four years ago, and he’s incapable now of even a train of thought. He’s making things up.”

California is taking the Trump administration to court Thursday over the president’s decision to deploy National Guard troops and Marines to LA in support of immigration enforcement operations.

The legal showdown between California Gov. Gavin Newsom and President Donald Trump takes center stage Thursday afternoon in a federal courtroom in San Francisco.

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

As a fresh standoff developed Saturday between protesters and armed federal authorities in Paramount, Trump administration officials were vowing to prosecute any demonstrators who broke the law during Friday's violent demonstrations that accompanied immigration raids in Los Angeles.
