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.

Protests in Los Angeles were mostly peaceful on Monday, but some provocateurs did become aggressive later in the night, CBS News' Jonathan Vigliotti reports. This comes as President Trump and Gov. Gavin Newsom prepare for a potential legal battle over troops activated to mitigate the protests against ICE raids.
