Trump deployed 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines to LA against the wishes of Newsom and Bass. Newsom sued the Trump administration, saying they unlawfully "trampled over" California’s sovereignty when they federalized the California National Guard.

“There should be no bottleneck of referrals for complaints and legal process,” Mr. Singh wrote, urging offices to prioritize cases related to civil disorder, and “push out press releases whenever you file charges in these matters. We will not stop enforcing the law and we will not be deterred from keeping our districts safe.”

Protests over federal immigration raids and President Donald Trump’s move to mobilize the National Guard and Marines in Los Angeles are spreading nationwide. They are expected to continue overnight and into the weekend.

The sweeps have fueled six days of protests resulting in hundreds of arrests in Los Angeles and the demonstrations have spread across the nation.

4:47 p.m. EDT The Trump administration asked the judge to reject Newsom’s request and allow it to respond by Wednesday, calling Newsom’s attempt to block the deployment of federal troops “legally meritless” and saying it would jeopardize the safety of Homeland Security personnel and interfere with the government’s ability to carry out operations.

Opponents of President Donald Trump’s administration are set to rally in hundreds of cities on Saturday during the military parade in Washington for the Army’s 250th anniversary after a week of protests across the country against his immigration policies.
