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.

The last time the National Guard was activated without a governor’s permission was in 1965, when President Lyndon B. Johnson sent troops to protect a civil rights march in Alabama.
