- On Tuesday, California Governor Gavin Newsom submitted an urgent legal petition aiming to prevent the Trump administration from deploying National Guard troops and Marines to carry out immigration enforcement actions in Los Angeles.
- The filing came after President Trump ordered the mobilization of about four thousand members of the National Guard along with seven hundred Marines in response to protests sparked by increased immigration enforcement efforts that began with raids on June 6.
- Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass declared a curfew after unrest including 23 downtown business lootings, while Police Chief Jim McDonnell warned that Marines' unscheduled arrival posed logistical challenges.
- Trump asserted that without the deployment of troops, Los Angeles would have faced total destruction and indicated he might consider using the Insurrection Act, while Newsom criticized the federal government for mobilizing the military against its own citizens.
- A federal judge set a hearing for Thursday to consider Newsom’s request, marking a rare National Guard activation without gubernatorial consent and raising constitutional and federal-state tension.
