President Trump on Monday described the Los Angeles protests against his administration’s migrant deportation policies as “well under control” just as California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) filed suit against Trump, alleging he overstepped his authority by mobilizing the National Guard when there was no “invasion” against the U.S. government.

Newsom maintains that local law enforcement officers have managed crowd control, highway safety and incidents of property destruction. Police used tear gas and more than 600 rubber bullets and other “less than lethal” munitions among the protesters over the weekend, the Los Angeles department said Monday. Newsom argued that use of military troops in domestic law enforcement added to public tensions and represented an illegal infringement of the governor’s sovereign state authority under law. 

The Associated Press: Trump vows to “HIT” any protester in California who spits on police. He pardoned those who did far worse during the U.S. Capitol riots on Jan. 6, 2021.

Newsom, widely viewed as a leading contender for the presidency in 2028, maintains that Trump sought to elbow his way into a weekend drama while failing to evaluate, consult or tap local law enforcement expertise.
