President Donald Trump and California Gov. Gavin Newsom are steeling themselves for a showdown over the anti-deportation protests in Los Angeles, with the president federalizing the National Guard and sending in hundreds of Marines, and Newsom preparing legal action to force the federal government to stand down.

The conflict is heading to a dark place, warned conservative analyst Jonah Goldberg during a roundtable discussion with CNN's Kasie Hunt — and neither side has any incentive to back down until a real tragedy occurs.

A Republican lawmaker found himself on the receiving end of a grilling courtesy of CNN's Kasie Hunt on Monday afternoon.

President Donald Trump on Monday activated U.S. Marines to deploy to Los Angeles in response to ongoing protests related to immigration enforcement and raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. Trump reportedly activated as many as 700 Marines, according to CNN.

President Donald Trump complained Monday afternoon that he took "a little heat" for ordering a military parade to be held on his birthday.

The president was asked about the June 14 parade during a White House event.

Officials in President Donald Trump's administration are facing criticism from his supporters after failing to fulfill their promises.

Dan Bongino, Kash Patel and Pam Bondi created their own trap, the New York Times reported. By promoting conspiracy theories and promising to fix them, they've backed themselves into a corner that they can't "fix" something that doesn't exist.

California is suing President Donald Trump's administration for violating the Constitution by sending in the National Guard to Los Angeles to stop protests against immigration raids, the state's Democratic Attorney General Rob Bonta announced Monday.

“President Trump’s order calling federalized National Guard troops into Los Angeles – over the objections of the Governor and local law enforcement – is unnecessary and counterproductive. It’s also deeply unfair to the members of the National Guard who are hard at work every day protecting our state, preparing for and responding to emergencies, and training so that, if called, they can fight our nation’s wars,” said Bonta.

Former acting Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Ken Cuccinelli got defensive with CNN anchor Brianna Keilar, asking her “not to lecture him” on the differences between President Donald Trump deploying the National Guard to Los Angeles over the weekend and when National Guard troops were called to the city in back in 1992 by President George H.W. Bush.

“There are four reasons under the Insurrection Act that the president can deploy military,” Cuccinelli said. “Under that act, insurrection is only one of the four. That's the name of the act. But that's only one of the four bases.”

Right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk linked anti-ICE protests in California to a theory that white people are being "replaced" in the United States.

"They all hate Christendom," Kirk said of protesters on his Monday podcast. "They hate Western civilization. They hate what we have built. This is a global movement of freaks."

President Donald Trump told reporters on Monday afternoon that, if he were Tom Homan, he’d arrest California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D).

Homan is the White House Executive Associate Director of Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), which Trump refers to as the border czar.

Right-wing actress Roseanne Barr suggested that voting machines and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) led to recent protests against ICE in California.

During an interview on Monday, MAGA host Steve Bannon asked Barr to explain the weekend's demonstrations near Los Angeles.

MAGA influencer Steve Bannon insisted that anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles were part of the "Third World War."

After a weekend of demonstrations, Bannon argued that all undocumented immigrants should be deported.

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan backed down from California Gov. Gavin Newsom's challenge to arrest him

Homan announced Saturday that he was prepared to apprehend "anyone" who interfered with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents rounding up suspected undocumented migrants, but he told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Monday that a reporter who asked Newsom about that threat had taken his comments out of context.

CNN’s data guru Harry Enten claims President Donald Trump is “begging for a fight” over immigration — and Democrats “don’t have a clue” on how to handle it.

His comments come in light of multiple new polls which show the majority of Americans trust the GOP to handle immigration issues.
