Gov. Gavin Newsom blamed President Trump for intentionally inciting tensions between protesters and law enforcement and targeting hardworking immigrant families with his federal raids in Los Angeles in an address to California on Tuesday night.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass issued a curfew for parts of downtown as anti-ICE demonstrations continued for a fifth consecutive day, some of which have turned violent between protesters and law enforcement.

In announcing the speech, Gov. Newsom called President Trump's actions an "assault on democracy" and called the militarization of Los Angeles illegal.

The temporary restraining order request alleges the deployment “escalates tensions and promotes (rather than quells) civil unrest.”

Gov. Gavin Newsom, in an address called “Democracy at a Crossroads,” called on Americans to stand up to President Trump.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom filed an emergency motion on Tuesday to block what he calls President Trump's "illegal" deployment of Marines and National Guard troops in Los Angeles. It comes after the Trump administration deployed 700 active-duty Marines to the city on Monday night,
