The U.S. military deployments that President Donald Trump has directed in response to unrest in Los Angeles are expected to cost $134 million for 60 days of operations, a senior defense official said at a hearing Tuesday.

Protests surrounding immigration enforcement actions in the Los Angeles area and the Trump administration's response to them have cued up a public spat between President Trump and Gov. Newsom.

Residents and experts say the response is reminiscent of a longstanding dynamic in the state and around the country.

4:47 p.m. EDT The Trump administration asked the judge to reject Newsom’s request and allow it to respond by Wednesday, calling Newsom’s attempt to block the deployment of federal troops “legally meritless” and saying it would jeopardize the safety of Homeland Security personnel and interfere with the government’s ability to carry out operations.

The demonstrations featured more violence and arrests, with some protesters throwing objects at law enforcement, and authorities responding with less-lethal munitions.

Law enforcement has been pushing back Los Angeles protestors with 'less lethal' weapons. Now the National Guard is deployed and Marines are activated.

Donald Trump made no secret of his willingness to exert a maximalist approach to enforcing immigration laws and keeping order as he campaigned to return to the White House. The fulfillment of that

National Guard troops with riot shields pushed protesters into the streets, as tear gas was deployed and less-than-lethal rounds exploded in the roadway.
