San Francisco — A federal court hearing is scheduled for Thursday on whether the Trump administration can use the National Guard and Marines to assist with immigration raids in Los Angeles.

Dozens of mayors from across the Los Angeles region banded together to demand that the Trump administration stop the stepped-up immigration raids that have spread fear across their cities and sparked protests across the U.

Officials are digging in, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth saying the president’s order to deploy the National Guard in L.A. could be rolled out elsewhere.
