Tensions flared in Los Angeles late Monday after Trump escalated military presence in the region against the wishes of California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

President Donald Trump has deployed 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines to LA. But California Gov. Gavin Newsom and California Attorney General Rob Bonta are suing the Trump administration, saying they unlawfully "trampled over" California’s sovereignty when they federalized the California National Guard.

State officials asked a judge to issue a temporary restraining order blocking Trump's use of the National Guard and Marines to act as law enforcement in LA.

Authorities swept in with flash-bangs and tear gas grenades to disperse hundreds of protesters in Los Angeles.

The demonstrations featured more violence and arrests, with some protesters throwing objects at law enforcement, and authorities responding with less-lethal munitions.

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.

A judge denied Newsom’s request to limit President Donald Trump’s use of California National Guard troops in Los Angeles.

Impact Social data shared with Newsweek showed a plurality—32 percent—of swing voters are responding positively to Trump's response, while 19 percent are responding negatively. Forty-nine percent are responding neutrally to Trump's approach, sharing mostly "emotionless" reaction or news articles about the protests.

Other Republicans support Trump's decision to deploy National Guard and Marines. Speaker Mike Johnson on Tuesday once again aligned himself with President Donald Trump, saying the president is "absolutely right" to send the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles as protests over against Immigration and Customs Enforcement continue-- and sided with the president's criticism of California Gov.
