President Donald Trump has built his presidency around stretching the bounds of presidential authority, and his response to protests over an immigration crackdown in Los Angeles is no exception.

The California Governor has sued the U.S. President over the mobilization of the National Guard, calling it “an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism.”

National Guard troops arrived in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday after being ordered into the city by President Trump in response to a weekend of violent clashes between law enforcement officers and protesters triggered by immigration enforcement operations in the area on Friday.

Protesters rallied in parks and plazas across the United States on the same day that President Donald Trump held a massive military parade.

An appeals court allowed Trump to keep the National Guard in L.A. The Trump administration denied involvement in Israel’s strikes on Iran. Kilmar Abrego García pleaded not guilty to human smuggling. A Smithsonian director resigned following Trump’s attempt to fire her.

Thousands of people visited the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to see the rare spectacle of military hardware and soldiers filing down American streets.
