U.S. President Donald Trump is "pulling a military dragnet" across Los Angeles by deploying and then expanding the role of the National Guard and marines in the nation's second-largest city, according to California's governor.

Gov. Gavin Newsom's request was in response to a change in orders for Guard members, originally deployed to protect federal buildings. In the filing, Newsom said sending troops on immigration raids across the city would only escalate tensions and promote civil unrest.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom dared the administration of President Donald Trump to arrest him during an interview over the weekend. Newsom was responding to comments from Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, who told NBC News that he would arrest anyone who interfered with immigration enforcement, including Newsom, according to The New York Times.
