The city acknowledged that the change could make it more difficult for some families to visit detained loved ones.
California Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta outlined their lawsuit against Donald Trump and his order the federalize the National Guard, now in Los Angeles to respond to protests of the administration’s ICE raids. The lawsuit will allege that Trump’s order exceeds his authority and violates the Tenth Amendment.
The Trump administration said it would send 2,000 National Guard troops into Los Angeles after a second day in which protesters confronted immigration agents during raids of local businesses.
The memo obtained by NPR says troops would be used in activities, including in "night operations and rural interdiction," as well as "guard duty and riot control" inside detention facilities.
