A federal court is hearing arguments on California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) emergency motion seeking to block Marines and National Guard troops deployed by President Donald Trump to Los Angeles from enforcing immigration and local law.
Newsom and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-New York) are among the leading Democrats who decried the forcible removal of Sen. Alex Padilla (D-California) from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem’s Thursday news conference in the Los Angeles FBI headquarters, after he briefly interrupted it. Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe (R) activated National Guard troops to respond to protests there; in Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has deployed more than 7,000 soldiers and public safety troopers.
