Trump admin deploying Marines to LA protests

() California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s request for judicial intervention in the Trump-ordered military presence in the Los Angeles protests was unsuccessful Tuesday. 

Newsom asked a federal judge to limit the National Guard’s response to anti-ICE protests in his state by 4 p.m. ET. Trump had deployed the National Guard without the governor’s request Sunday after days of immigration protests. 

Although a federal judge did not grant the immediate halt, a hearing will take place Thursday. 

California Attorney General Rob Bonta said the state sued Trump because “of the irreparable harm and irreversible injury that we would suffer.”

“There’s existing law that governs what the president can do and can’t do. The president has invoked a specific statute to call in the National Guard that he believes authorizes him … and that law requires that there be a rebellion there,” Bonta said Tuesday on “Elizabeth Vargas Reports.”

“There’s no rebellion. It requires that there be an invasion. There’s no invasion.”

He said he’s confident the judge will rule in California’s favor by limiting the military’s presence in response to the protests. 

Some protesters have thrown rocks and bottles at police, set cars on fire and committed other violent acts during the demonstrations, which first prompted law enforcement response. 

“When you have peaceful protests, you have agitators, and those who use the cover of the protest to engage in unlawful conduct, it’s wrong. They should be held accountable. They should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Bonta said. “That’s largely been happening, and it and none of that was being done by the National Guard or the Marines. It was done by local law enforcement agencies, sheriffs and hard-working members of the police departments who are getting the job done on the ground.”
