As the Trump administration ramped up its Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation in Los Angeles, one of the people arrested in the chaos was David Huerta, the president of California's division of the Service Employees International Union, or SEIU.

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.
