Why: Protests are against President Trump's sweeping immigration raids and increased deportations. Trump justifies troop deployment as necessary to combat 'invasion and third-world lawlessness' and 'assault on peace, public order and national sovereignty.' Governor Newsom opposes it as a 'brazen abuse of power' and 'escalation' that puts people at risk.
How: Protests involve demonstrations, clashes with police, and some looting/violence. Trump responded by deploying federal troops (National Guard, Marines) for protection of government personnel/buildings. California responded with a lawsuit and public criticism. Curfews were imposed by local authorities.
