President Trump’s assertions that federal troops have saved the city from destruction did not appear to reflect reality.

California is taking the Trump administration to court Thursday over the president’s decision to deploy National Guard troops and Marines to LA in support of immigration enforcement operations.

Over the years, Trump has threatened to intercede in the state’s long-running homeless crisis, vowed to withhold federal wildfire aid as political leverage in a dispute over water rights, called on police to shoot people robbing stores and warned residents “your children are in danger” because of illegal immigration.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has argued that the deployment is “an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act.”

The California National Guard is conducting training on civil unrest in Los Alamitos, California, following several days of protests against immigration raids in Los Angeles.
