Trump sends out Marines in to LA riots and threatens to Gavin Newsom: Live updates
Unrest has actually spanned the city's streets for 3 days and led to rioters encountering police, taking control of the 101 freeway and setting cars on fire, while police responded by firing tear gas and rubber bullets - with some catching press reporters in the crossfire.
California leaders have slammed Trump for what they view as deliberately whipping up the conflict with unnecessary action, prompting more civil discontent by commandeering the National Guard from state control and sending 2,000 soldiers into the city.
California Governor Gavin Newsom promised to take legal action against the administration over the move which he called 'an unlawful act, an unethical act, an unconstitutional act' in an interview with MSNBC.
'He's exacerbated the conditions. He's lit the proverbial match,' Newsom said.
'These anarchists that remain in there to create real problems, and they're simply playing right into Donald Trump's hand. And they need to be called out. They need to be apprehended.
'It is incorrect to destroy other individuals's residential or commercial property, and it is wrong to develop the conditions that just intensify this. But Donald Trump, at the end of the day, is the sponsor of these conditions.'
LA Council member Eunisses Hernandez was filmed telling a crowd of anti-ICE protestors that the federal migration agency understands 'how quickly we set in motion, that's why they're changing tactics.
'Because community defense works and our resistance has slowed them down before ... and if they're escalating their tactics then so are we. When they appear, we got ta appear even stronger.'
Hernandez doubled down on her support of the anti-ICE protests in a TV interview with NBCLA.
When asked by anchor Colleen Williams, 'Would you admonish [protestors] to remain within the boundaries of the law out there?'
Hernandez responded, 'What I would say is that individuals who are out there objecting, be safe. Bear in mind that we require all neighborhood members to be able to "throw down" in future emergency situations.'

California Governor Gavin Newsom has been a big critic of President Trump's choice to pirate the National Guard from state control and send out in 2,000 soldiers into the city, saying he is whipping up the conflict with unneeded action
Luz Aguilar Cole says on their LinkedIn page that they are a 'Financial Activist', 'Environmentalist', and 'Affordable Housing Advocate'.
Luz worked as a research expert for Pacific Community Ventures (PCV) in Oakland, California from September 2023 to February this year and is a graduate of the University of California, Davis.
Their bio on the website says they seek 'to weave together the intersections of social, economic, and climate justice to address systemic issues facing our local and international neighborhood.'
Luz's manager, Councilwoman Jurado, is a kept in mind critic of LA's authorities department.
During the campaign for her council seat last year, Jurado was recorded being asked about eliminating authorities.
'What's the rap verse? F- the authorities, that's how I see 'em,' she reacted.
She later on told ABC7 News: 'I quoted a lyric from a tune that's become part of a larger conversation on systemic injustice and authorities responsibility for decades. But it was just a lyric ... My commitment to public safety remains as strong as ever.'
After her election to LA council district 14, Jurado was captured in another debate when she was photographed seeming asleep at her chamber seat throughout a closed February session.
Jurado informed ABC7: 'It looks like I read, and if undoubtedly I did doze off, I believe this won't be the first or last of the human moments that I have as a council member,'
