Democratic governors on Thursday slammed President Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and Marines to California amid protests over the administration’s immigration enforcement policies.

A federal judge on Thursday might rule on whether or not the Trump administration lawfully deployed National Guard and Marine Corps troops to Los Angeles.

He signed a congressional resolution intended to reverse a ban on gas-powered cars and trucks in California and other states.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has argued that the deployment is “an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act.”

The divergent approaches illustrate the ways the two parties are trying to navigate national politics and the role of executive power in enforcing immigration policies.

California said the Trump administration’s deployment of the National Guard and US Marines to respond to protests in Los Angeles was illegal and cannot continue “unchecked.”

Protests over immigration raids have broken out in several other cities, including Chicago, New York, San Antonio and Spokane, Washington.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -Several U.S. cities braced for protests on Wednesday against President Donald Trump's sweeping immigration raids, as parts of the country's second largest city Los Angeles spent the night under curfew in an effort to quell five days of unrest.
