White House officials say that Trump has a mandate to carry out his hard-line immigration policy and that politically, battling it out with a blue state is a winning issue for the administration.

Barrera says there is "no need" for Donald Trump to deploy the National Guard when there are 17,000 police personnel in Los Angeles. He says deploying the troops "increases tensions" and confrontation, which sets a "dangerous precedent".

The Los Angeles Police Department shared an update on which streets and highways have been closed as protests continue to impact traffic in the downtown area of the city.

President Donald Trump endorsed the arrest of California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday as the administration authorized the deployment of 700 Marines to Los Angeles to quell anti-ICE immigration protests amid violence.

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

President Donald Trump and Stephen Miller have repeatedly used the word “insurrection” to describe the protests in Los Angeles.

In recent polls, voters are more likely to approve of the president's immigration policies than his handling of other major issues.

President Trump's "border czar" says California Gov. Gavin Newsom and other local officials "haven't crossed a line yet."
