California Governor Gavin Newsom urgently appealed to a federal judge on Tuesday and requested an immediate order barring the National Guard and Marines deployed in response to the Los Angeles protests from joining in immigration raids, saying such operations could be slated to begin any moment.
In a filing in a California federal court, Newsom said the Trump administration intends “to use unlawfully federalized National Guard troops and Marines to accompany federal immigration enforcement officers on raids throughout Los Angeles.”
“Federal antagonization, through the presence of soldiers in the streets, has already caused real and irreparable damage to the City of Los Angeles, the people who live there, and the State of California,” the filing continued. “They must be stopped, immediately.”
This is a breaking news story and will be updated with new information.
