L.A. unrest live updates: Crowds protesting immigration raids ordered to leave downtown

Protesters against federal immigration raids were ordered to leave downtown L.A. overnight.

President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles to disperse immigration protests and California Gov. Gavin Newsom has questioned the legality of this move. NBC News legal analyst Danny Cevallos breaks down what Trump’s legal options are for using federal troops.

President Donald Trump's "border czar" Tom Homan responded to California Gov. Gavin Newsom telling Homan to “arrest me” after the border czar threatened to arrest anyone obstructing immigration enforcement.

“I was clear, they haven’t crossed the line, but they’re not above the law either,” Homan said in an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” referring to Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass. “If they commit a crime, then certainly we’d ask for prosecution. That’s what was happening. I never threatened to arrest Governor Newsom, so I’m not biting off of that.”
