Monday's protests were largely calmer than Sunday's clashes. California officials insist that the 4,000 National Guards troops and 700 active duty Marines en route to L.A. are an unnecessary abuse of power by Trump.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom asked a federal judge to quickly block the Trump administration's deployment of National Guard members and Marines to Los Angeles. Trump authorized the deployment to quell protests against federal immigration enforcement actions.

The temporary restraining order request alleges the deployment “escalates tensions and promotes (rather than quells) civil unrest.”
