President Donald Trump made the stunning claim that he can send any military branch he wants including The Navy to U.S. cities as part of a crackdown he has tried out using the National Guard. Trump has already sent National Guard troops to Los Angeles, Memphis, and Washington, D.C., and is trying to send them Portland and Chicago amid pushback from state and local officials and widespread criticism.
Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation on Saturday that would prevent federal immigration agents from wearing masks in the state, a direct response to President Trump's deportation crackdown in the Los Angeles region. The new law is believed to be the first such ban in the nation, though it is likely to be challenged in court before it can go into effect in January because it is unclear whether California can enforce such restrictions on federal law enforcement.
