President Donald Trump signed a memorandum "deploying 2,000 National Guardsmen to address the lawlessness" in California as demonstrations opposing Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations continue in the state, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement Saturday evening.

A major court ruling Tuesday will decide who’s in control of California’s National Guard. A federal appeals court ruled last week to pause a lower court ruling calling President Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard for ongoing immigration protests in Los Angeles unlawful.

Anti-Trump protesters rallied across the country yesterday as the president presided over a military parade in Washington. The administration’s immigration crackdown has prompted demonstrations in major US cities over the past week.
