💨 Abstract

The situation in Los Angeles has escalated with at least 700 Marines being mobilized due to protests over immigration enforcement. President Trump, citing a legal provision, deployed 2,000 National Guard troops, which Governor Gavin Newsom opposed, threatening legal action. Tensions rose as Trump suggested Newsom could be arrested, prompting the governor to accuse the president of stoking chaos and violating state sovereignty.
