Protests in Los Angeles have erupted in response to immigration raids and the deployment of the National Guard, leading to clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement. California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced plans to sue President Trump, claiming the deployment of the National Guard is unlawful and a breach of state sovereignty. As the protests continue for several consecutive nights, demonstrators have blocked freeways, and some have turned violent, resulting in arrests and injuries among both protesters and police officers. Concerns have been raised by veterans and legal scholars regarding the militarization of unrest and the potential politicization of the military in domestic affairs. The National Guard has been observed in inadequate conditions amidst the chaos, raising questions about their preparedness. Meanwhile, Trump defends the deployment as a necessary measure while allegations of abuse of power and potential overreach circulate among state officials.
