President Donald Trump ordered another 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles, bringing the total number of deployed military forces to around 4,700 after 700 Marines were deployed earlier Monday.

In announcing the lawsuit, Attorney General Rob Bonta called the president's move to federalize the National Guard an "infringement" on state sovereignty.

California sued the Trump administration on Monday over its decision to send in National Guard troops in response to protests over immigration enforcement, calling it an unconstitutional use of executive power that usurped the state’s authority.
