California will face off with Washington in court on Thursday over President Donald Trump's deployment of U.S. troops in Los Angeles after demonstrators again took to the streets in major cities to protest Trump's immigration crackdown.

Police and elected officials say the troops and Marines sent by the Trump administration are not properly trained to interact with civilians. A judge will decide whether to limit their duties.

The Pentagon says roughly 700 Marines and thousands more National Guard troops are being mobilized amid anti-ICE demonstrations.

Donald Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles is “unlawful, unconstitutional, and undemocratic,” Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford and 17 other Democratic state attorneys general said in a statement Wednesday.

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.

California sued the Trump administration to block deployment of the National Guard and the Marines, arguing that it violates federal law and state sovereignty.
