Tensions are escalating between President Donald Trump and California Gov. Gavin Newsom as protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement continue to grip Los Angeles and spread to New York City, San Francisco, Boston, Austin, Texas, and other cities.

Trump deployed about 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines to LA against Newsom's wishes.

A federal appeals court Thursday delayed an order requiring the Trump administration to return control of the National Guard to Newsom, dealing the administration a temporary reprieve to what would have been a major reversal of its policy on the protests.

"I can’t emphasize enough the level of fear and terror that is in Angelenos right now, not knowing if tomorrow or tonight it might be where they live, it might be their workplace, should you send your kids to school, should you go to work," Bass said.

The mayor placed blame on the escalation of protests in the city on the Trump administration, saying, "On Thursday, the city was peaceful. On Friday, it was not because of the intervention of the federal government."

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday he has been informed that an additional 2,000 National Guard troops are being sent to Los Angeles, after President Donald Trump previously deployed 2,000 troops.

"The first 2,000? Given no food or water. Only approx. 300 are deployed -- the rest are sitting, unused, in federal buildings without orders," Newsom said in a post on X. "This isn’t about public safety. It’s about stroking a dangerous President’s ego."

"This is Reckless. Pointless. And Disrespectful to our troops," he added.
