Overview

• Trump has ordered over 4,000 National Guard soldiers and 700 Marines into Los Angeles to back ICE deportation raids and quell what he described as a “foreign invasion,” warning of “very hard violence” against protesters.
• Governor Gavin Newsom filed an emergency injunction in federal court, calling the domestic deployment an unprecedented abuse of presidential power.
• Los Angeles authorities extended a nightly curfew through Thursday and reported that demonstrations have remained mostly peaceful despite some arrests for curfew violations and vandalism.
• Protests have spread to New York, Chicago, Seattle, Las Vegas and San Antonio, and Texas Governor Greg Abbott has mobilized his own National Guard to counter expected demonstrations.
• A federal hearing is set for Thursday to decide whether the president may unilaterally deploy troops into a state over its governor’s objections.
