Tensions are escalating between President Donald Trump and California Gov. Gavin Newsom as protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement continue to grip Los Angeles and spread to New York City, San Francisco, Boston, Austin, Texas, and other cities.

Trump deployed about 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines to LA against Newsom's wishes.

A federal appeals court Thursday delayed an order requiring the Trump administration to return control of the National Guard to Newsom, dealing the administration a temporary reprieve to what would have been a major reversal of its policy on the protests.

The guardsmen are from the 79th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, a California National Guard unit. They are operating under Task Force 51, which also includes 700 Marines, to protect federal personnel and property, U.S. NORTHCOM said in a statement.

President Donald Trump's memo over the weekend authorized a deployment of 2,000 National Guardsmen amid unrest during protests over immigration enforcement in the LA area.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday he had been informed Trump planned to deploy an additional 2,000 National Guard troops.

From the scene: How law enforcement moved to protect federal buildings

Protests on Monday saw police slowly, methodically build up a massive presence outside of Los Angeles' federal buildings.

On the bullhorn, an officer was heard warning protesters -- who appeared to be angling to get back to the 101 Freeway and who had commandeered Los Angeles Street -- that they'd have five minutes to disperse the unlawful assembly.

An hour later, they still hadn't moved on the protesters who were jeering and taunting them, but behind them, Los Angeles Sheriff's SWAT teams had moved into the scene in armored cars with sound cannons and portable barriers. LAPD Cruisers and Suburbans closed ranks behind them, effectively sealing the street.

They moved as if in a brigade-sized military exercise, taking the high ground of the garage -- flooding the lower floors with officers then and pouring in from alleys and side streets. It was a pincer movement that sent some of the protesters scattering. They fired lots of less lethal rounds and flash bangs thundered. Everyone moved back.

Los Angeles' Temple Street had dozens of cruisers and hundreds of officers. Dozens of additional cruisers were also seen on Alameda Street with hundreds of officers.
