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.

President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited Fort Bragg, the nation's largest military installation.

Jacob Soboroff, NBC News Correspondent joins Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House live from the Metropolitan Detention center where the National Guard is stationed with an up close look at what today’s protests look like and how Donald Trump’s mobilization of the California National Guard as put troops face to face with protestors who happen to be their own neighbors.

4:47 p.m. EDT The Trump administration asked the judge to reject Newsom’s request and allow it to respond by Wednesday, calling Newsom’s attempt to block the deployment of federal troops “legally meritless” and saying it would jeopardize the safety of Homeland Security personnel and interfere with the government’s ability to carry out operations.

Senators from both sides of the aisle took to responding over President Donald Trump's calling of the National Guard in Los Angeles.

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

President Donald Trump is defending his decision to send Another 2,000 National Guard troops along with 700 Marines to Los Angeles, escalating a military presence local officials and Gov. Gavin Newsom don’t want and the police chief says creates logistical challenges for safely handling protests.

The lawsuit seeks to set aside the president’s order calling up troops in response to protests that spread over the weekend.

U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer, a former Watergate prosecutor, will decide whether Trump had the legal authority to federalize 4,000 California National Guard troops.
