The state of California is suing the Trump administration for deploying the state’s National Guard to quell immigration protests in Los Angeles. MSNBC Political Analyst Cornell Belcher and Patrick Gaspard of the Center for American Progress join The Weeknight to discuss Trump's military response to the L.

The arrests sparked immediate backlash, with demonstrators converging outside federal buildings, blocking freeways, and in some cases clashing with police.
