President Donald Trump hit back at Gov. Gavin Newsom's claims that the president did not call him recently, showing a screenshot of the call to Fox News.

Gov. Gavin Newsom wants to immediately block the Pentagon from ordering federal and state troops to suppress the protests in Los Angeles, asking for a federal judge’s ruling hours after he filed Tuesday morning for an emergency injunction.

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.

Protests surrounding immigration enforcement actions in the Los Angeles area and the Trump administration's response to them have cued up a public spat between President Trump and Gov. Newsom.

After the Trump administration sent Marines and National Guard troops to Los Angeles in response to the protests against immigration enforcement, Gov. Ron DeSantis proposed adding another group to the mix: the Florida State Guard.

The California Governor has sued the U.S. President over the mobilization of the National Guard, calling it “an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism.”

As the Pentagon crafts rules of engagement for Marines deployed to an American city, it's clear that the president is playing with fire.

Riots erupted in Los Angeles over immigration raids as California Republicans blame Gov. Newsom and Mayor Bass for the violence by siding with illegal immigrants.

Gov. Gavin Newsom told MSNBC that he plans to file suit Monday against the Trump administration to roll back the National Guard deployment.

Newsom's 2028 presidential aspirations hang in the balance as the eyes of the nation are on California's clash with immigration authorities.
