Tensions are escalating between President Donald Trump and California Gov. Gavin Newsom as protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement continue to grip Los Angeles and spread to New York City, San Francisco, Boston, Austin, Texas, and other cities.

Trump deployed about 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines to LA against Newsom's wishes.

A federal appeals court Thursday delayed an order requiring the Trump administration to return control of the National Guard to Newsom, dealing the administration a temporary reprieve to what would have been a major reversal of its policy on the protests.

Newsom requests Trump admin rescind National Guard deployment

California's Gov. Gavin Newsom formally requested on Sunday that the Trump administration rescind the deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles County, calling the decision "unlawful."

"I have formally requested the Trump Administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops in Los Angeles county and return them to my command," Newsom said on X alongside photos of his formal request to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

"We didn’t have a problem until Trump got involved. This is a serious breach of state sovereignty — inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they’re actually needed," Newsom added.

"Rescind the order. Return control to California," he said.
