Newsom plans to file suit against the Trump administration to roll back the National Guard deployment, which he called “an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act.”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom asked the Trump administration to rescind the deployment, saying the federal government was moving to "take over the California National Guard," calling the move "purposefully inflammatory" and saying it will "only escalate tensions."

State law, in fact, specifically prohibits local law enforcement from working with federal immigration enforcement operations in most instances.

Texas leaders are reacting Monday as tensions in Los Angeles increased Sunday following President Donald Trump's deployment of the California National Guard.
