The Justice Department claims California's request to limit the federal response to violent riots in Los Angeles would "countermand" the president's lawful military directives.

On Tuesday, the X page for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) posted photos of California National Guardsmen on the scene of a detention being carried out by an ICE agent with the caption "Photos from today's ICE Los Angeles immigration enforcement operation."

The temporary restraining order request alleges the deployment “escalates tensions and promotes (rather than quells) civil unrest.”

Trump border czar Tom Homan announces National Guard deployment to Los Angeles County after anti-ICE demonstrations turned violent, stating authorities won't apologize for enforcing the law.
