California Governor Gavin Newsom announced plans to take legal action against the Trump administration after National Guard troops were sent to Los Angeles without his approval. The deployment happened during protests that broke out following a series of immigration related arrests in Los Angeles County. Over the weekend, clashes between protesters and police led to property damage and multiple arrests.
The protests started after large-scale immigration enforcement operations on Friday, which resulted in many arrests and sparked demonstrations throughout the weekend. While some protests stayed peaceful, others turned violent. In some cases, protesters burned vehicles and threw rocks at law enforcement. In San Francisco, a peaceful protest later became chaotic, leading to sixty arrests. In Los Angeles, police reported thirty-nine arrests during the demonstrations.
