Downtown Los Angeles bustled Wednesday with dog-walkers and commuters touting coffee cups, returning to business as usual after the first night of curfew meant to tamp down tensions following days of protests over President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown.

Trump deployed 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines to LA against the wishes of Newsom and Bass. Newsom sued the Trump administration, saying they unlawfully "trampled over" California’s sovereignty when they federalized the California National Guard.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said President Donald Trump is “pulling a military dragnet” across Los Angeles during a brief public address on Tuesday.
