The latest deployment comes on the same day that California filed a case against the Trump administration, asked a judge to declare the deployment unconstitutional.
In response to Monday’s filing, a White House spokesperson said California Gavner Gavin Newsom should prioritize the trump administration to prosecute “Anti-Ice rioters” instead of sueing the Trump administration.
