Further protests are expected in the Los Angeles area Monday, after more than 50 protesters were arrested this past weekend as anti-ICE demonstrators clashed with law enforcement. Hundreds of National Guard troops arrived in Los Angeles on Sunday after President Donald Trump mobilized them to quell anti-ICE protests, as clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement entered a third day.

LOS ANGELES — Hundreds of National Guard troops dispatched by President Donald Trump arrived here Sunday, a move that Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) called “unconstitutional,” as protesters continued demonstrating against the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. This is an excerpt from a full story. California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) reiterated his threat to sue the Trump administration Monday, writing on social media that President Donald Trump “flamed the fires and illegally acted to federalize the National Guard.” “The order he signed doesn’t just apply to CA,” Newsom wrote. “It will allow him to go into ANY STATE and do the same thing. We’re suing him.” This is exactly what Donald Trump wanted. He flamed the fires and illegally acted to federalize the National Guard. The order he signed doesn’t just apply to CA. It will allow him to go into ANY STATE and do the same thing. We’re suing him. pic.twitter.com/O3RAGlp2zo Civil rights and labor groups are calling for more demonstrations in Los Angeles and beyond after a tumultuous weekend.
