The disagreement between President Donald Trump and California Gov. Gavin Newsom over Trump deploying state National Guard troops to Los Angeles is now being debated in court. We’ll explain how the situation developed and answer some common questions.

Did President Trump send the U.S. military to Los Angeles earlier this week to safeguard the city from protesters? Or is this the start of something bigger — an unprecedented push by the president to carry out mass deportations with the help of armed troops?

Mayor Karen Bass said Sunday that Los Angeles does not need National Guard troops to bolster city police amid protests against raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, despite violent incidents.

A federal judge says he plans to rule quickly on whether President Donald Trump exceeded his authority by deploying the California National Guard in Los Angeles against the governor’s wishes.

It's exceedingly rare for presidents to call up the National Guard in opposition to a governor's wishes, as President Trump did in deploying the National Guard to Los Angeles.

Los Angeles police have issued a dispersal order at No Kings protests downtown. Officers shot tear gas and rubber bullets at what they called "outside agitators."

President Donald Trump has authorized the deployment of an additional 2,000 National Guard members to help respond to protests in Los Angeles over immigration raids.

The deployment of U.S. Marines and the National Guard to Los Angeles amid protests against immigration raids has raised the hackles of many, including Mayor Karen Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom. But there’s more than just boots on the ground in Los Angeles.
