On 8 June, President Trump federalized 2000 US National Guard to deploy to the city of Los Angeles following two days of protests against heavy-handed, militarized immigration raids in Los Angeles County, California. This action came against the wishes of the California Governor who normally oversees these troops and in contravention to the law cited requiring Governor consent. An additional 2000 US national Guard were federalized and deployed on 9 June and approximately 700 US Marines are standing by in support. Call on authorities to rescind the memo authorizing this unilateral and potentially illegal action.
