In an exclusive interview with Meet the Press, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) condemns President Trump’s call to send the National Guard and Marines into Los Angeles amid protests and criticizes the forceful removal of fellow California Sen.

President Donald Trump has deployed 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines to LA. But California Gov. Gavin Newsom and California Attorney General Rob Bonta are suing the Trump administration, saying they unlawfully "trampled over" California’s sovereignty when they federalized the California National Guard.

Around 200 Marines have been tasked with guarding the Wilshire Federal Building in Los Angeles on Friday, June 13.

Infantry Marines arrived in LA with minimal training to counter civilians protesting the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

"I would like to emphasize that the soldiers will not participate in law enforcement activities," the task force leader told reporters.

The development comes a day after an appeals court temporarily blocked a judge’s order that directed President Trump to return control of the California National Guard.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom had a brief victory in his lawsuit against President Trump, but an appeals court quickly blocked a federal judge's order.
