Protests in Los Angeles appeared to quiet overnight, but new ones are popping up in other cities. Trump has deployed more than 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to the protests.

It's been five days since anti-ICE demonstrations erupted in Los Angeles, some turning violent between protesters and law enforcement officers, prompting President Trump to deploy National Guard troops and hundreds of Marines.

President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard to respond to anti-immigration raid protests in the Los Angeles area, with Gov. Gavin Newsom arguing that Trump is trying to "manufacture a crisis." The Morning Joe panel discusses.

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

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday defended the administration's mobilization of the National Guard and members of the Marine Corps to Los Angeles amid ongoing immigration protests.

HOW WE GOT HERE: The protests erupted after Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers on Friday carried out raids in three locations across L.A., where dozens of people were taken into custody. Newsom called the raids “chaotic federal sweeps” that aimed to fill an “arbitrary arrest quota.”

Residents and experts say the response is reminiscent of a longstanding dynamic in the state and around the country.

Today in D.C., thousands of veterans are rallying against Trump’s cuts to the Department of Veterans Affairs and his slashing of staff throughout the government.
