The California governor has clashed with Trump in recent days over the president's deployment of the National Guard to quell protests in Los Angeles.

The Trump administration has pledged to carry out the largest mass deportation in U.S. history and has conducted numerous ICE raids.

CNN’s chief data reporter said a sharp rise in public approval for President Donald Trump’s immigration policies emboldened his decision to send 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles amid violent protests over immigration enforcement.

California Gov. Newsom has called Trump a bald-faced liar and said he wants to start a civil war over his immigration policies.
