Protests surrounding immigration enforcement actions in the Los Angeles area and the Trump administration's response to them have cued up a public spat between President Trump and Gov. Newsom.

President Donald Trump claimed Tuesday that he saved Los Angeles by deploying thousands of National Guard troops despite the wishes of California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D).

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

Military personnel assigned to Los Angeles increased to about 4,100 National Guard troops and 700 Marines. Gov. Gavin Newsom said he’ll sue the administration again.
