Police and elected officials say the troops and Marines sent by the Trump administration are not properly trained to interact with civilians. A judge will decide whether to limit their duties.

Trump claims the troops are quelling protests. But California officials fear their real mission is bigger: militarizing mass deportation.

“Multiple groups continue to congregate on 1st St between Spring and Alameda. Those groups are being addressed and mass arrests are being initiated. Curfew is in effect,” read a post on the LAPD’s social media, sent at 9:09p.m local time on Tuesday night.

Former Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn said, "Trump thinks anything done in his name is OK. Jan. 6 was done in his name, so our officers don't matter."

The president said the U.S. will keep a 55% tariff on Chinese imports, while China will keep a 10% tariff on American goods.

For a man who understands the power of images, the sometimes violent protests in Los Angeles over immigration enforcement have presented President Trump with the ingredients to once again burnish his tough-on-crime message.

Trump is "unhinged right now," Gov. Gavin Newsom said, accusing the president of making the situation in LA worse by federalizing National Guard troops.
