A day after Donald Trump deployed the National Guard to confront immigration protesters who took to the streets in Los Angeles, California Governor Gavin Newsom said he planned to file a lawsuit against the US President.

Newsom termed Trump’s actions as “illegal and immoral".

“Commandeering a state’s National Guard without consulting the governor of that state is illegal and immoral," Newsom, a Democrat, told MSNBC on Sunday.

Amid the ongoing protests, Trump on Monday gave a fresh order, directing law enforcement to arrest the protesters who are wearing masks, announcing a ban on masks at protests.
