LOS ANGELES − The state of California will file a lawsuit against the Trump administration challenging the decision to federalize the National Guard and send its members onto city streets amid increasingly hostile protests over Trump immigration policies, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday.

Trump, in a social media post Monday, said his administration made a "great decision" to deploy the National Guard.

"If we had not done so, Los Angeles would have been completely obliterated," Trump said. "The very incompetent 'Governor,' Gavin Newscum, and 'Mayor,' Karen Bass, should be saying, 'THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU ARE SO WONDERFUL. WE WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT YOU, SIR.'... We will always do what is needed to keep our Citizens SAFE, so we can, together, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
