The protests, now in their third consecutive day, have seen increasingly tense confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement, with reports of tear gas, flashbang grenades, and multiple arrests. Protesters have blocked freeways, set fires\u2014including to autonomous vehicles\u2014and clashed with police in several parts of the city.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">President Trump authorized the deployment under <a href=\"https:\/\/uscode.house.gov\/browse\/prelim@title10&amp;edition=prelim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Title 10 of the U.S. Code<\/a>, allowing federalization of the National Guard to enforce federal laws and protect government property. \u201cThe violence and lawlessness cannot be allowed to continue,\u201d Trump stated via Truth Social. \u201cWe will restore order. The riots must end\u2014now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Newsom Condemns Federal Overreach<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Governor Newsom sharply rebuked the decision, asserting it bypasses state authority and needlessly escalates the situation. \u201cThis is an unlawful seizure of state military forces,\u201d he wrote in a letter to Defense Secretary <a href=\"https:\/\/prepsaret.com\/news\/hegseth-shared-military-plans-in-second-signal-chat-that-included-family\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pete Hegseth<\/a>, demanding the troops be returned to state control. \u201cIt\u2019s a provocative act that will only inflame tensions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Newsom also indicated plans to challenge the deployment in court, accusing the Trump administration of using the protests to manufacture a crisis. \u201cWe didn\u2019t have a problem until Trump got involved,\u201d he posted on X (formerly Twitter). \u201cThese are the actions of a dictator, not a president.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Support for Newsom came swiftly from Democratic leaders nationwide, including former Vice President Kamala Harris, who described Trump\u2019s move as a \u201cdangerous escalation meant to provoke chaos\u201d and an attempt to stoke fear rather than ensure public safety.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While National Guard troops have been deployed to Los Angeles before, notably during the 1992 riots, legal scholars and political historians note that those actions were coordinated with the state. Trump\u2019s unilateral decision marks the first federalization of a state\u2019s National Guard without the governor\u2019s request since the Civil Rights era.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Escalating Clashes on LA Streets<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Law enforcement in Los Angeles acknowledged rising tensions on the ground. LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell said Sunday, \u201cWhile the Guard wasn\u2019t our first choice, given the intensity of tonight\u2019s protests, we may need to reassess.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although federal officials have portrayed the situation as widespread chaos, much of the city remains unaffected. Protests have been concentrated downtown, where demonstrators\u2014many carrying Mexican flags and denouncing ICE raids\u2014blocked highways and faced off with authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At least 44 people have been arrested since the protests began, with officers declaring some gatherings unlawful and alleging assaults on police. In some instances, self-driving vehicles were torched, and demonstrators threw projectiles at law enforcement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As legal and political battles unfold, the core tension remains: a deepening divide over who holds authority in moments of domestic unrest\u2014and how far federal power can reach into state affairs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Top Stories<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/prepsaret.com\/news\/u-s-universities-help-foreign-students-weather-trumps-immigration-crackdown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">US universities help foreign students weather Trump deportations<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/prepsaret.com\/news\/judge-blocks-trump-administrations-attempt-to-ban-international-students-at-harvard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Judge Blocks Trump Administration\u2019s Attempt to Ban International Students at Harvard<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Points: Governor Newsom calls Trump\u2019s federal deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles unlawful and inflammatory.
