Over the years, Trump has threatened to intercede in the state’s long-running homeless crisis, vowed to withhold federal wildfire aid as political leverage in a dispute over water rights, called on police to shoot people robbing stores and warned residents “your children are in danger” because of illegal immigration.

Some demonstrations have turned violent as protesters clashed with police, and in an extraordinary series of moves, Trump has deployed 4,000 National Guard members and 700 U.S. Marines to the city — all in opposition to California governor Gavin Newsom.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem pledged to carry on with the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown despite waves of unrest across the U.S.

Newsom says Trump’s LA actions marks the onset of a much broader effort to overturn political and cultural norms.
