California has challenged the administration’s move to call up the National Guard over the objections of Governor Gavin Newsom.

Los Angeles endured a sixth day of protests that have been largely peaceful but occasionally punctuated by violence.

Los Angeles residents and experts say the National Guard's presence in Los Angeles in response to immigration protests is reminiscent of a long-standing dynamic in the state and around the country.

The National Guard has at times detained protesters in its deployment to Los Angeles, an official said Wednesday, as demonstrations against Immigration and Customs enforcement raids spread to other major cities.

Monday's protests were largely calmer than Sunday's clashes. California officials insist that the 4,000 National Guards troops and 700 active duty Marines en route to L.A. are an unnecessary abuse of power by Trump.

Tensions flared in Los Angeles late Monday. On Tuesday, teams worked to scrub away, cover up or fade out protesters' graffiti.

The demonstrations featured more violence and arrests, with some protesters throwing objects at law enforcement, and authorities responding with less-lethal munitions.
