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.

National Guard can detain people
President Donald Trump has sent 4,000 National Guardsmen to LA. There are 2,000 of them currently in LA and the other 2,000 will arrive by Thursday afternoon to begin training, Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman of the National Guard told Los Angeles ABC station KABC.

The soldiers' role is "solely to protect personnel to do their federal mission," Sherman said. He noted that the National Guard has been on raids as "protection of personnel as they do their federal job."
The guardsmen can detain people, but local law enforcement must make the arrests, he said.

In response to a question from Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, Hegseth wouldn’t say whether the president’s executive order authorized an expansion of its current guard activation in California.
"So part of it is getting ahead of a problem, so that if in other places, if there are other riots in places where law enforcement officers are threatened, we would have the capability to surge National Guard there if necessary," Hegseth said. "And thankfully, in most of those states, you'd have a governor that recognizes the need for it, supports it, and mobilizes it him or herself."
