At a news conference, Bonta said the lawsuit against the administration would be filed Monday afternoon, calling Trump's move "unnecessary, counterproductive and most importantly unlawful." Bonta said Trump's order abused the federal government's authority and "trampled over" Gov.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom asked the Trump administration to rescind the deployment, saying the federal government was moving to "take over the California National Guard," calling the move "purposefully inflammatory" and saying it will "only escalate tensions."

Mobilization is separate from full deployment, so it's not clear if the U.S. Marine Corps troops will hit the streets of L.A. immediately or remain on standby. President Donald Trump authorized the deployment of California National Guard troops to protect federal law enforcement as protesters angry over immigration raids hit the streets over the weekend.
