President Donald Trump has built his presidency around stretching the bounds of presidential authority, and his response to protests over an immigration crackdown in Los Angeles is no exception.

President Trump announced Saturday that 2,000 California National Guard troops would be sent to Los Angeles in response to immigration protests. The move follows two days of unrest after an ICE-led immigration crackdown, with demonstrations also taking place in cities like Minneapolis and Chicago.

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